Good automation, no complex coding, and high-level data encryption
When it comes to performance and scalability, JSCAPE is a highly reliable software, however, I would suggest a few improvements: 1. The documentation needs a revamp for a better understanding of the features of the tool. 2. Customer service can be offered on call or chat. 3. The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial. 4. UI can be improved in terms of look and feel. 5. Documentation should be provided for a majority of newly released features as these can be difficult for a layman to use without proper instructions.

webMethods.io was used to integrate APIs through the webMethods.io platform, trigger database events, and connect backend APIs through a Java backend. It was used extensively for integration purposes in my organization Integration became smoother, troubleshooting was easier, and deployment and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"Triggers are also something that is useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code."
"The automation part of JSCAPE by Redwood is great because you can set up a scheduled delivery with files and be notified if the transfer was successful."
"The product's most valuable feature is the high availability clustering."
"The user interface feels easy to use."
"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."
"The tool can transfer files of any size and type without any issue."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"The stability is good."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
 

Cons

"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 FTP/S and ad-hoc techniques can further be automated."
"The cost of the tool is relatively high and can pose a problem to medium and small-scale companies who are trying to overcome their on-premise server limitations."
"Setup is time-consuming."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The user interface (UI) could be improved."
"I have noticed that webMethods ActiveTransfer has had problems when handling large files. For example, when we receive (and perform operations on) files that are larger than about 16 MB, the software starts losing performance."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."
"Scalability and connectors to different cloud applications is lacking."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"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."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
