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The main issue for me is that the current product is obsolete, and I need to migrate to Infor 10 for more features.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

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

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

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

"ION is good for building custom middleware boxes."

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

"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."

"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."

"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."

"The product is very stable."

"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."

"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."

"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."

"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."

Cons

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

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

"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."

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

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

"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."

"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."

"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."

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

"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."

"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."

"The learning curve is a little steep at first."

"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."

"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."

"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."

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

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

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."
