Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"The stability is good."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"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."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
