Peeyush Chouksey - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows us to integrate different cloud services with different applications
It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot. When it comes to mapping, you are quite restricted. If you have to use a specific, typical function, you need to do a Java callout or something. OSB has a lot of features they are using like Java APIs because it's on-premises.
Michele Illiano - PeerSpot reviewer
Can function as an ESB along with the core product, with decent integration of message protocols
I have noticed that webMethods ActiveTransfer has had problems when handling large files. For example, when we receive (and perform operations on) files that are larger than about 16 MB, the software starts losing performance. This is why, for most customers who have to deal with big files, I suggest that they use a product other than ActiveTransfer. I would like to note that this problem mainly concerns large files that undergo extra operations, such assigning, unassigning, or file translation. When these operations take place on large files, ActiveTransfer will use up a lot of resources. Within the product itself, I also believe that there is room for improvement in terms of optimization when it comes to general performance. I suspect that the issues underlying poor optimization are because it is all developed in Java. That is, all the objects and functions that are used need to be better organized, especially when it comes to big files but also overall. webMethods ActiveTransfer was born as an ESB to handle messages, and these messages were typically very short, i.e. small in size. A message is data that you have to send to an application, where it must be received in real-time and possibly processed or acknowledged elsewhere in the system as well. So, because it was initially designed for small messages, it struggles with performance when presented with very large files. All this to say, I suggest that they have an engineer reevaluate the architecture of the product in order to consider cases where large files are sent, and not only small ones. As for new features, compared to other products in the market, I think Software AG should be more up to date when it comes to extra protocol support, especially those protocols that other solutions have included in their products by default. Whenever we need to add an unsupported protocol, we have to go through the effort of custom development in order to work with it. Also, all the banks are obligated to migrate to the new standards, and big companies are all handling translations and operating their libraries with the new protocol formats. But webMethods ActiveTransfer doesn't seem to be keeping up with this evolution. Thus, they should aim to be more compliant in future, along the lines of their competitors such as IBM and Primeur.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data is stored in the cloud, making it easy to download data simultaneously into multiple smaller servers, effectively downsizing the process."
"Having a single vendor supporting the entire suite of applications."
"The most valuable thing to me is its simplicity. A person with zero knowledge can also develop the integration without having extensive technology knowledgebase. They can also work on creating their own integration."
"Oracle integration cloud has got the adapters for all their products, which makes integration faster."
"It's on the cloud, so it's scalable and quite easy to work with."
"The solution is easy to manage and offers good integration. You can run all the tasks one by one which is really helpful, and pick the day and time to do so."
"Oracle Data Integrator helps us build tables and data marts and allows us to schedule them daily, for nearly real-time data warehousing."
"WebMethods.io is a powerful tool, but it requires skilled people who can fully utilize its potential."
"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."
"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."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
"The performance is good."
"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."
 

Cons

"This is an expensive solution compared to other products on the market."
"I would like to see different cloud adapters or connectors in case of integration. When you have Oracle to Oracle, they are good. They have really good connectors, but if it is a different ERP, like Obsidian, that is where they are faced with problems in OIC."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"I've found technical support not very effective. They should work to improve their services."
"Bulk uploading can be a problem when you hit the upper limit."
"It's lacking a lot of mapping features that Oracle OSB and SOA have. It needs to evolve a lot."
"It can be made much easier for users. They should be allowed to easily monitor the data extraction and flow, allowing them to observe real-time data flow within the software, making the process straightforward."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."
"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."
"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."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is competitive compared to Boomi which is much higher."
"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."
"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."
"The product is expensive."
"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
