Helps with real-time data processing and improves decision-making overall

It improves decision-making overall for the company. Informatica is usually the tool for setting up the data, streaming the data into your data warehouse from your source, transforming the data, and preparing and modeling it into some desired format. It improves the performance. You need to know how to use it and how to implement it, but it improves performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It improves the performance."

"A product with good API and EDI components."

"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."

"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."

"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."

"Broker and UM are the best features."

"High throughput and excellent scalability."

"It integrates well with various servers."

"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."

Cons

"Skill requirement is required. There is a learning curve."

"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."

"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."

"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."

"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."

"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."

"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."

"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."

"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

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

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

"It is worth the cost."

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
