Reliability and support ensure secure financial messaging over decades

The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN ( /products/swiftnet-fin-reviews ) 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 ( /products/threat-stack-cloud-security-platform-eol-reviews ) program ensure the highest safety standards. Audits and assessments by companies like KPMG and Ernst & Young further validate SWIFTnet FIN's reliability.

Cons

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

"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."

"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."

"The pricing is a yearly license."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

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

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

"The product is very expensive."
