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.

Smooth integration and enhanced deployment with high licensing cost
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 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 tool can transfer files of any size and type without any issue."
"Automating and managing the file transfer using JSCAPE has decreased the manual interventions necessary and increased the organization's efficiency and productivity."
"It is easy to transfer large sets of files."
"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."
"We can send the data quickly and securely."
"One of the standout features of this particular tool is its automation capabilities."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"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."
"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."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"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."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
 

Cons

"Support for more complicated workflows, such as conditional logic or branching, could be added to allow users to create more advanced automation processes."
"The initial setup is time-consuming; it could use a video tutorial."
"Providing initial guidance would help new users to understand the UI."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
"The documentation part can be improved to be more precise for beginners to understand the advanced features of the tool."
"The price is too high and the product line is too complex."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The FTP/S and ad-hoc techniques can further be automated."
"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."
"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."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."
"A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The software is expensive compared to other vendors."
"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
"It is worth the cost."
"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."
"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
"The product is very expensive."
"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."
"Its cost depends on the use cases."
"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."
