Joshua Rule

Senior Integration Consultant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Serves as a straightforward SFTP server that offers reasonably good support

I think some of the automated deployment features could use some assistance, which is an area where it currently lacks. The product needs some ability to help it with the deployment model, which is a little difficult. Some support for the area revolving around PGP protocols in the product would be helpful. I think TIBCO could try to integrate better with API management software. TIBCO is a fairly solid product, but integration with some API management software should provide a better selling point since TIBCO would have some great API management capabilities.

Yashraj Makwana

Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees

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

"They have great multi-factor authentication for extra security."

"TIBCO has its own integration tool."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to do centralized administration."

"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."

"I like the tool's scalability."

"It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing. We can easily retrieve data. It is good in terms of troubleshooting and other things."

"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."

"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."

"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."

"The core product can be used not only for automatic file transfers between applications, but also as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."

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

Cons

"Their cloud product is not yet stable."

"The UI could be better."

"I think some of the automated deployment features could use some assistance, which is an area where it currently lacks. The product needs some ability to help it with the deployment model, which is a little difficult."

"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"

"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."

"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."

"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."

"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."

"When it comes to scaling, it requires more RAM and more machines."

"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."

"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very good for the complexity that the tool provides."

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

"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."

"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."

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

"The product is expensive."

"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."
