KS
System Administrator at Agility
Provides high availability of clustering and valuable file transfer management features
The initial setup process is easy with the support of a 24-hour backend expert and available demos for installation and configuration. We can also refer to the documentation. It takes two days to complete. The deployment process involves server installation, configuring necessary reports, and publishing the system on the public internet. Initially, we created internal users with LtAP access. It enables control over file upload and download permissions for specific file types. The implementation, accessible through SFTP and HTTPS protocols, works well for secure file transfers. It requires three executives to deploy and one or two to maintain the product.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can send the data quickly and securely."
"One of the standout features of this particular tool is its automation capabilities."
"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."
"It keeps a clear record of all the file transfers that take place, the person who initiated them, and the outcome of the execution."
"Automating and managing the file transfer using JSCAPE has decreased the manual interventions necessary and increased the organization's efficiency and productivity."
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."
"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"The stability is good."
"My impression of webMethods.io's drag-and-drop interface to design workflows is actually amazing."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."
"​Broker and UM are the best features."
 

Cons

"Enhancing the user interface would make it more accessible and appealing to the new users and it will definitely enhance the user experience."
"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."
"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"The JSCAPE team could create detailed documents or blogs on how to troubleshoot certain errors that come over in integration with existing environment tools."
"The initial setup is a bit hectic during the installation."
"The FTP/S and ad-hoc techniques can further be automated."
"They could create an in-depth document so that any user with little to no background can implement this and use the software effectively."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."
"Support is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."
"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
