ROI

Sentiment score
6.4
IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration boosts productivity and cost savings, offsetting tool costs within 2.5 years for many users.

7.9
Striim enhances efficiency by reducing data sync time and incidents, saving organizations significant time and operational costs.
The incidents have disappeared completely since I have been using Striim.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Striim's continuous pipeline safely processes millions of daily transactions without data loss; my organization had millions of transactions every day and even in real-time, so it was quite good.
Mainframe lead at Infosys
Since it is now one to two hours, I would say it has saved employee hours and time.
Data Engineer
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Users praise IBM webMethods' customer service but highlight varied support efficiency and occasional delays in resolving complex issues.
Sentiment score
6.8
Striim's customer service is praised for prompt, expert assistance, particularly in z/OS architecture and DB2 logs troubleshooting.
An incident portal is available where we can raise tickets and based on priority, they reply.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
They are supporting the product, but webMethods.io is new for IBM as well.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
They are all knowledgeable about what they do.
Data Engineer
When you contact them, they give you a response straight away and help you identify the issue and fix it.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
The customer support has been excellent, and their engineers actually understand z/OS architecture and DB2 logs.
Mainframe lead at Infosys
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration's scalability varies; ease or challenges depend on infrastructure, licensing, and configuration specifics.
Sentiment score
7.8
Striim performs well with moderate data volumes, is adaptable, and recommended for hybrid clouds, but enterprise-level scalability is untested.
Whenever more resources are needed, they become available automatically without any human interference.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
If any webMethods.io product is installed on-premises and a company wants to scale its application, either vertical scaling or horizontal scaling is needed.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Scalability in webMethods.io is very easy.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Our licensing was based on the number of cores, so even if we have a high number of events on any given day, our license cost would not go high.
Data Engineer
I would describe the scalability of Striim as very good, as it adapts well.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Striim can handle the data volumes effectively, but it can struggle a little bit if the data volume is too high.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration is praised for stability and reliability, with the on-prem version rated higher than the cloud.
Sentiment score
7.9
Users generally find Striim stable with occasional slowdowns and initial synchronization issues, but no major crashes or reliability problems.
There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
webMethods.io is very stable.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
That problem has been completely resolved with Striim.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Striim was very stable.
Data Engineer
In my experience, Striim is mostly stable.
Mainframe lead at Infosys
 

Room For Improvement

IBM webMethods users seek better UI, stability, connectors, seamless upgrades, cloud integration, analytics, and large file support.
Striim needs better performance, especially in batch processing, documentation, user setup, and pricing to satisfy users' needs.
webMethods.io lacks advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities, so my customers need to use something additional.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
They have recently come up with a hybrid application where users will be able to use drag-and-drop functionality.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I believe if Striim could use some part of AWS secrets or its own secret mechanism to store the password, that would really save a lot of time so that I don't have to keep updating the password whenever there is any change.
Data Engineer
They could improve the documentation by showing how to configure with different platforms.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
I think Striim could be improved with better pricing and enhanced documentation.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

IBM webMethods pricing suits large enterprises, offering flexible licensing but is considered expensive, aligning with its comprehensive capabilities.
Enterprise users find Striim's pricing based on cores and CPU usage costly, but fair for private cloud setups.
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
webMethods.io is expensive, so I would rate this at seven.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Licensing was a bit more expensive because Striim has to read from Oracle GoldenGate trail files and also integrate them.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
My experience with the pricing, implementation cost, and licensing of Striim is that it is somewhat expensive.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
It's very fair.
Data Engineer
 

Valuable Features

IBM webMethods offers robust integration with API management, seamless scalability, and strong governance for diverse business needs.
Striim enhances business analytics with real-time data streaming, ease of use, and efficient synchronization, reducing load and overhead.
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
If we want to make a REST API, SOAP, REST, or any other type, all kinds of things are put in one box and we can make anything we want to.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
Striim is capable of absorbing a large number of transactions, and the difference between the two databases is always less than a second, which demonstrates efficiency.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
There were significant improvements because once we enabled change data capture, the database was not going down at all.
Data Engineer
It reduces manual intervention because it automatically syncs the data from the warehouse.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

YM
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Offers strong integration capabilities and reliable features but needs pricing and scaling improvements
Many things are evolving with the AI buzz in the market. What I would like to see improved or enhanced in webMethods.io in the future is that since webMethods.io is already under IBM, I think IBM will introduce and integrate AI into it. Additionally, regarding what webMethods.io can improve is the license cost. Other cloud players are also providing the same kind of functionality, such as AWS and Azure. webMethods.io is being installed on-premises, but AWS is providing it directly in the cloud. When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that. There are many competitors in the market for this.

Real-time data capture has accelerated releases and now improves trust in our data warehouse
The checkpoints would help me to figure out where the problem was if there's any lag, but I had to do a lot of manual work to figure out where the lag is. Striim would not intuitively tell me the culprit table or database behind the lag. I believe that is an improvement Striim could definitely do. Passwords were an issue. Property variables were not supported for passwords, meaning I had to make sure the password is manually populated. I believe if Striim could read from AWS secrets or its own secret mechanism to store the password, that would really save a lot of time so that I don't have to keep updating the password whenever there is any change. The user experience of triggering alerts if there's any lag which Striim identified, which is outside normal processing time, could intrinsically be done by Striim. I believe that was lacking. I would wait for Striim to tell me, instead of me going and validating whether Striim is lagging behind. If Striim could itself tell me that it's seeing a lot more volume than expected, that would really make me give it a higher number.
