Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
Tungsten RPA is scalable, flexible, and adaptable, but requires skilled deployment and faces challenges like licensing and upgrades.
Sentiment score
7.2
webMethods.io scalability varies, effective with cloud and vertical scaling, but may require careful planning for high transaction volumes.
If any webMethods.io product is installed on-premises and a company wants to scale its application, either vertical scaling or horizontal scaling is needed.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Tungsten RPA is stable and reliable, though some find it complex with legacy apps; it scores 7-9/10 for stability.
Sentiment score
7.6
webMethods.io is stable with high user ratings, though stability varies by setup; cloud versions may need improvement.
There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
 

Room For Improvement

Tungsten RPA needs interface improvements, better scalability, AI features, enhanced integration, and support for complex processes and legacy systems.
webMethods.io struggles with legacy models, integration issues, and cost, prompting user requests for UI, analytics, and AI enhancements.
Another enhancement would be in OCR; currently, there is a huge demand for OCR capabilities. It would be perfect if webMethods.io had a built-in component for OCR, as this would be tested and allow customers to use it better than a third-party OCR application.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
A special discount of at least 50% for old customers would allow us to expand our services and request more resources.

Setup Cost

Tungsten RPA offers flexible subscription pricing with unlimited workflows, varying costs by project needs, and requires upfront payments.
webMethods.io provides flexible enterprise-focused pricing, notable for high capability yet potentially high costs, with scalable and negotiable options.
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.

Valuable Features

Tungsten RPA offers seamless integration, robust automation, and ease of use with advanced tools for document and process management.
webMethods.io offers scalable integration, real-time connectivity, and secure, user-friendly API management for efficient enterprise workflow and system connectivity.
If we want to make a REST API, SOAP, REST, or any other type, all kinds of things are put in one box and we can make anything we want to.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection
I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

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.
