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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"TIBCO has its own integration tool."

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

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

"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."

"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."

"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."

"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."

"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."

"The orchestration aspects of APIs, the integration capabilities, and the logging functionalities were the most critical features of our workflow."

"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."

"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."

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."

"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."

"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."

"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."

"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."

"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."

"Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

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

"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."

"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."

"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."

"The pricing is a yearly license."

"The product is expensive."

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."
