Fully-featured, good performance, and easy to use and install
We are using it to back up the software across the network to a remote server It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do. It is also very easy to use and install. It is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good. Everything is fine. The user…

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

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a stable solution."
"My impression of webMethods.io's drag-and-drop interface to design workflows is actually amazing."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"When it comes to scaling, it requires more RAM and more machines."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
"The product is expensive."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."
"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."
"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."
"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."
