Works at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Offloads processes on the server side but needs better installation syntax

One area for improvement is the installation process. Another point could be the syntax, as it sometimes involves using syntax names that are not intuitive. For example, to calculate the difference between two dates, the general syntax in SAS is called the data difference or data net function. However, another name is used, such as NF and INK. Without knowledge of SAS programming, it becomes unclear what these functions mean. It is not good to define function names this way.

Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A key feature allows us to enhance job performance by offloading processing to the server side, rather than processing on the server itself."

"The solution is very stable."

"A key feature allows us to enhance job performance by offloading processing to the server side, rather than processing on the server itself."

"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."

"The solution is very stable."

"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."

"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."

"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."

"The stability and performance are definitely very good, and the product really comes strong on an enterprise scale in terms of stability and performance, as it does not crash or freeze and has no bugs or glitches."

"The internal services that they provide make it easy to work with."

"It gives value for your money, and it is easy to implement and maintain."

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

"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."

"The single biggest differences between webMethods and the other solutions are the range of the offering, the connectors, the stability of the system, the fact that it is an enterprise-grade system, and that you can basically do anything you need with it."

Cons

"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."

"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."

"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."

"Something that could improve is writing SQL to integration studio because it is not that straightforward. There should be better integration with other software."

"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."

"One area for improvement is the installation process."

"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."

"The on-premises setup can be difficult."

"Broker Trading partners Portal"

"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 interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."

"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."

"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)."

"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."

"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."

"It is worth the cost."

"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"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."

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