A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users
The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

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

"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."
"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"The solution is scalable."
"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."
"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"The MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)"
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
 

Cons

"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"​Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't pay for a license."
"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"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."
"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
