Pros
"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered.""Overall it is a pretty good solution.""The ability to master the process in one location.""The solution is quite stable overall.

More Oracle Service Bus Pros →

"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services.""webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators.""Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features.""When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use.""The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas.""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.""It's very flexible and a good platform to use.""How simple it is to create new solutions."

More webMethods Integration Server Pros →

"I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined.""The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications.""It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."

Cons
"There is significant room for improvement in the monitoring capabilities.""This solution should work better with RESTful services.""It needs to support more adapters, because the integration points keep changing and new things keep coming up. It also needs to be more scalable.""It's very complex and hard to learn. There's a steep learning curve.""It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit.""Security features can be improved to better protect the server.""There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin.""The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."

More Oracle Service Bus Cons →

"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness.""The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature.""Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area.""It is quite expensive.""The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so.""There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services.""The orchestration is not as good as it should be.""The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."

More webMethods Integration Server Cons →

"There could be more automation included.""We encountered delays with the tool.""At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage."

    webMethods Integration Server is widely considered to be the best integration server available in the marketplace today. The solution can help users integrate everything and anything.

    webMethods Integration Server allows organizations to display and integrate existing and new business activities. The solution offers components that help users create, test, and install new services. webMethods Integration Server can automate, organize, and construct various gathered services and traditional legacy systems into productive value-added processes. webMethods Integration Server works as a secure platform for distributing and running services. The solution obtains and translates user requests, recognizes and records the requested service, translates and moves the data in the necessary format, receives the information back, and returns the information to the user in the appropriate original format. webMethods is the primary solution used by enterprise organizations for integrating functional coordination with application servers, custom applications, and databases. webMethods makes it easy for enterprise organizations to share electronic documents seamlessly.

    Users have several options to audit webMethods Integration Server processes using some of the component metrics below:

    • Adapters: Using the SOA extension for webMethods, users can easily monitor the performance of every adapter users have deployed. Available metrics include Adapter Services, Adapter Connection Pools, and Adapter Notifications nodes.

    • Business Processes: A business process is a process that uses a specific set of rules to perform tasks in a prescribed order. Many business processes depend on the successful integration of numerous systems, involving many people in varying roles. With the SOA extension for webMethods, users can easily monitor that workflow, ensuring that processes are being performed as defined.

    • Java Services: This includes services created in Java or in languages coordinated with Java.

    • WebServices: This includes services regarding webserver endpoints and performance.

    • XSLT Services: This service will allow users to transform XML data into other formats and includes the transformation to other services.

    • Thread Pools: This metric uses threads to conduct services, gather documents from the webMethods Broker, and initiate triggers. Documents can be published locally on the server or to the broker that will send the document out. A JMS trigger receives inbound messages and then processes those messages accordingly.

    Reviews from Real Users:

    “There are a few things about this product that we definitely like. It is very robust. If you build it nicely, you can't go wrong with it. It's rock solid. The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easy and very fast.” - Rohit S., Integration Lead at a wellness & fitness company

    “One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. When clients come to me with any problem, in about 99% of cases, I say, "Yes, it is feasible to do through webMethods." It has reached such a level of flexibility and maturity. Most of the things are available out of the box, and even if something is not available out of the box, we can customize it and deliver it for a client's requirements.” - Sushant D., IT specialist at Accenture

    The Workday Business Process Framework consists of a powerful set of tools that enable you to automate business processes and deliver the right information to the right people at the right time.
