Rehman Mohar

Senior Manager, Software Engineering Client Reporting at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Fast calculations, stable, and good support, but needs more visuals, support for HTML5, and BI Publisher updates

It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes. It doesn't have that many visuals to show different graphs and charts. It should have more visuals. It also doesn't support HTML5, which is useful for interactive sessions and reporting with dashboard etc. We are phasing it out because we need a newer platform that provides us more flexibility and more designs. Our use case is just to get the utility type of monthly reports, and we need visuals, customizations, columns, and certain sections on the report to show performance and other things. They are not updating their BI Publisher product, which was known as XML Publisher before Oracle bought it. It could be because they don't have that many clients using it. We are using it because we have this solution for years.

Yashraj Makwana

Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees

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

"Calculations are a little bit faster. It can do the on-the-run calculations much better than other reporting platforms. You don't need any other specific tool. You can use Microsoft Office to start doing things with these reports."

"It has a very robust dashboard and ad-hoc reporting."

"It's web-based so that I can have multiple users accessing the same data. It provides ease of use and its formatting means we can use the data, export it to Excel, and we manipulate the data afterward if we need to."

"The most valuable features are the reporting and the graphics."

"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."

"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."

"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."

"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."

"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."

"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."

"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 MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)"

Cons

"It is very cumbersome and slow for making any changes. It doesn't have that many visuals to show different graphs and charts. It should have more visuals. It also doesn't support HTML5, which is useful for interactive sessions and reporting with dashboard etc. We are phasing it out because we need a newer platform that provides us more flexibility and more designs.

We are using it because we have this solution for years."

"The initial setup was complex and it took a lot of time to set up the infrastructure."

"The initial setup was difficult because not all the information was included in the implementation model."

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."

"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."

"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."

"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."

"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."

"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. It is more than 100K for support. You pay for support on top of the standard licensing, which is on a yearly basis."

"As with any case study that we’ve ever done, it’s not so much a problem with the application or security or anything of that nature. It’s basically the cost infrastructure. Compared to other solutions, it’s one of the more costly solutions out there. It’s the biggest concern nowadays that upper management has."

"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."

"The solution’s pricing is too high."

"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
