Reliability and support ensure secure financial messaging over decades

The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability. For a bank, reliability is the most critical aspect. We also appreciate the extensive support facilities available worldwide. SWIFTnet FIN's services provide us with reliable connections to entities like European Central Bank, and we plan to join CLS as a direct member through SWIFTnet FIN. The store and forward feature, along with real-time messaging services, are crucial for our operations. Their security measures and compliance with CSP program ensure the highest safety standards. Audits and assessments by companies like KPMG and Ernst & Young further validate SWIFTnet FIN's reliability.

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 most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability."

"It provides the ability to interact with financial institutions and apply the same rules."

"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."

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

"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."

"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."

"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."

"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."

"I like the tool's scalability."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"I would like for them to work in real-time."

"While SWIFTnet FIN is a robust system, there is room for minor improvements in scalability and installation complexity."

"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."

"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."

"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."

"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."

"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The solution’s pricing is too high."

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."

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

"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."

"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."

"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."

"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."

"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."
