Provides robust security for financial transactions and protects the ERP database from direct exposure
My main feedback is about the account management. I feel they should connect with clients more frequently, beyond just selling the product. They should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products. My main suggestion is focused solely on the account management approach, specifically fostering closer and more proactive client relationships. So, the pricing could also be bit improvement.

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

"The product has been very easy to use."
"The initial setup isn't overly difficult."
"The most valuable features for us are security and centralization."
"It has helped us to better organize, control and monitor the APIs across the solution landscape in the enterprise."
"We've found it to be very stable."
"The security, the authentication, and the publishing qualities are great."
"It is very secure, easy to manage, and easy to configure. It is a web-based API. Moreover, we get direct support from Oracle guys."
"Time effective by cutting down development time and resource efficient to developer burden, enhance agility and integration between end-to-end applications, platform"
"webMethods' technical support is excellent."
"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."
"It's a well-settled, mature platform; the stability is good and it can scale."
"By selecting Software AG and using multiple products, this saved us about 72 percent, which has definitely given us more agility."
"By selecting Software AG and using multiple products, this saved us about 72 percent, which has definitely given us more agility."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
 

Cons

"Oracle needs to improve on access to technical documentation."
"Although it is working great for us at the moment, we don't enjoy its user-interface. The UI is based on an old approach and needs an overhaul to modernize the UI and user interaction."
"Oracle should actively seek feedback and tailor the approach to client needs. It shouldn't always be about pushing additional products."
"The cost of the solution is very high. It's not very cheap."
"We'd like it if they could reduce the cost without sacrificing on features."
"From an administration and developer point of view, the user interface and user experience are not great."
"Before gaining experience with the product, I found that it was not simple to use and things took longer to do than I had anticipated."
"In 2008, the technical support's response time was much longer than expected."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"Scalability is not the best capability of this product."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"When it comes to scaling, it requires more RAM and more machines."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle is not a cheap solution and it is not affordable for all of our clients in Portugal."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"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."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
