Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work
The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

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.
