"The MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)"
"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."

It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."

"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."

"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."

"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."

"It could be more user-friendly."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"It is quite expensive."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
