Toad Data Point vs webMethods.io comparison

"We love it."

"The best thing about it is its automation features."

"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."

"One of the greatest features is that you can get data from anywhere to anywhere with Toad Data Point."

"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."

"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."

"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."

"I have never experienced any issues with customer service."

"How simple it is to create new solutions."

"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."

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

"​Broker and UM are the best features."

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

"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."

"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."

"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."

"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version."

"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."

"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."

"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."

"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly."

"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."

"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."

"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."

"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."

"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."

"The price of Toad Data Point was approximately $500 annually."

"The cost of this product is reasonable."

"The Mac licenses are expensive, costing 1,600 dollars each. This is much higher than for the Windows version. I maintain a very limited number of licenses due to this cost."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."

"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."

"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."

"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

"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."
