Industry-leading, easy to implement, and has good mapping specification guidelines
The good thing about OpenText is that we have the mapping specification guideline available, which is not there in a solution like SEEBURGER. Whenever you want to take a decision to move away from OpenText, you have already documented your mapping and what your mapping looks like. So you go to the next provider, provide them with that mapping specification, and it'll be very easy for them to develop a new map instead of just taking the data - input data, output data - and then looking for how the data is getting transformed. So you have the mapping spec level which is a very good feature of OpenText, which we do not have in SEEBURGER. It's very hard to move from SEEBURGER. The solution is easy to implement. It's stable and reliable. They are the industry leaders in the integration space.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to implement."
"The product is very stable."
"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 tool supports gRPC."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"It is a very stable product."
"My impression of webMethods.io's drag-and-drop interface to design workflows is actually amazing."
"The product is powerful, straightforward, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"Technical support needs to be better."
"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."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"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."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."
"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."
"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."
"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
