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

"The solution is very stable."

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

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

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

"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."

"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."

"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."

"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."

"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."

"The core product can be used not only for automatic file transfers between applications, but also as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."

"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."

Cons

"One area for improvement is the installation process."

"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."

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

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

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

"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."

"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."

"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."

"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."

"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."

"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."

"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."

"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."

"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."

"The product is expensive."

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

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
