"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."

"The tool supports gRPC."
"The product is very stable."
"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve.

"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."

"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
