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

"It provides the ability to interact with financial institutions and apply the same rules."
"Their technical support is very professional."
"The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration, 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."
"There are many components that we are currently using and all of them are very important."
"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."
"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."
"CentraSite for governance and life cycle management frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."
 

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."
"I would like for them to work in real-time."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding. They could also improve the clustering."
"I have noticed that webMethods ActiveTransfer has had problems when handling large files. For example, when we receive (and perform operations on) files that are larger than about 16 MB, the software starts losing performance."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"It is quite expensive."
"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."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."
