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

"JSCAPE provides high-level data encryption, which can help us share confidential and time-sensitive data across our global partners without any hassle."
"Automating and managing the file transfer using JSCAPE has decreased the manual interventions necessary and increased the organization's efficiency and productivity."
"The user-friendly interface has made it easy for fresh users to adopt it."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"Triggers are something that is very useful as they automate the use of boilerplate code, and we can define certain functionality of certain tasks also."
"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."
"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"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."
"webMethods.io is a comprehensive box that provides multiple functionalities; I appreciate it because we can integrate many applications and any kind of API we want to integrate."
"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."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"The stability is good."
 

Cons

"Iteratively enhancing the user interface could help with streamlining workflows to make them more intuitive and user-friendly."
"The GUI has to be enhanced."
"They could create an in-depth document so that any user with little to no background can implement this and use the software effectively."
"The user interface is something that has to be worked on."
"The price is too high and the product line is too complex."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"The FTP/S and ad-hoc techniques can further be automated."
"Support for more complicated workflows, such as conditional logic or branching, could be added to allow users to create more advanced automation processes."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"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."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
