Easy matching and reconciliation of data

The initial setup was easy for the data warehousing concept. But for a person who is new to ETL and warehousing concepts, it may take some time. If someone is familiar with these concepts, they could understand and learn the tool quickly. However, compared to other tools, the UI is complex. It would be helpful to have a better UI and documentation for new users. As of now, there is a challenge in learning the Compose tool for new users altogether. Qlik Compose was deployed on-premises. But the servers, like the SQL servers were maintained on the cloud—the managed instances.

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.

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

Pros

"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."

"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."

"It is a scalable solution."

"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."

"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."

"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem."

"It can scale."

"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."

More Qlik Compose pros

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

"Overall, webMethods offers a good user experience and is easy to use for our company."

"The Software AG Designer has been great; it's very intuitive."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a good solution for interacting with outside of the organization. We can integrate the solutions with multiple outside the organization."

"The solution is scalable."

"Based on the solution's usability and ease of use it is very good."

"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."

"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."

Cons

"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."

"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."

"I don't think Qlik can be used in a high-volume scenario. It didn't work for us."

"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."

"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."

"There could be more customization options."

"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."

"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."

More Qlik Compose cons

"Yes, there is still plenty of room for improvement in MWS, SAG Designer."

"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."

"Regarding the stateful session inbound to ESB (Integration Server), it seems that the stateful session sometimes doesn't die out when the transaction is finished, but waits until the timeout expires (although quite often it doesn't even die after the timeout expires, which eventually would flood the server)."

"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding. They could also improve the clustering."

"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."

"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."

"The installation process is very complex, there being many products, each having its own."

"It is quite expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."

"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."

"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"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."

"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."

"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."

"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
