We performed a comparison between SSIS and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."
"SSIS is an easy way to do data integration from various data sources. It doesn't matter whether it's a database, flat files, XML, or Web API. It can talk to the and join them all together."
"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The solution is stable."
"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."
"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"The stability is good."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"Video training would be a helpful addition."
"We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources."
"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."
"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."
"The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"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."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
