Eugenio Santos

IT and processes re-engineering manager at DEUTZ AG

Serves as reliable middleware enabling efficient document handling and seamless connectivity between different systems

The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features. Accessing the interface and monitoring aspects is problematic, and I hope it improves in the new version. Integration with third parties is delicate and can be expensive without involvement from Infor.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I have found the most valuable feature to be the ability to monitor integration performance and the reasons for the failure of inbound and outbound transactions. We can see both inbound and outbound transactions, and it gives us a mirror image or the whole history of all inbound and outbound transactions between Infor M3 Business Engine and the third parties."

"ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."

"The tool's most valuable feature is middleware capabilities."

"Its stability is commendable, as I rarely encounter bugs or problems."

"We haven't had any issues with ION so far."

"ION acts as a middleware that allows me to handle all the volumes of incoming and outgoing documents with partners."

"The stability is good."

"My impression of webMethods.io's drag-and-drop interface to design workflows is actually amazing."

"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."

"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."

"The performance is good."

"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."

"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."

"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."

Cons

"The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features. Accessing the interface and monitoring aspects is problematic, and I hope it improves in the new version."

"Infor ION doesn't provide connectors for all integration touchpoints. Sometimes, we may have to build our own. It incurs additional costs for the customer."

"The dashboard is not very simple and can be a bit tricky."

"The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features."

"I would like to see ION add automated setup and integration with Salesforce. They need to work on these types of tools."

"ION's integration with older applications could be better."

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

"For code version control, you need to use some external software."

"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."

"The solution should include REST API calls."

"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."

"It is difficult to maintain."

"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."

"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product is expensive."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."

"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."

"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."

"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."

"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
