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.

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'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."
"It has a very robust dashboard and ad-hoc reporting."
"It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing. We can easily retrieve data. It is good in terms of troubleshooting and other things."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"The product is very stable."

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.

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."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"The licensing cost is high compared to other options."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."

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 would like to see better pricing for the license."
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"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."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"It is worth the cost."
