Joshua Rule - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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 the solution is its ability to do centralized administration."
"TIBCO has its own integration tool."
"They have great multi-factor authentication for extra security."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"It 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."
 

Cons

"The UI could be better."
"Their cloud product is not yet stable."
"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."
"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"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"
"A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very good for the complexity that the tool provides."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
