Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

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

"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing."
"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."
"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."
"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."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"webMethods.io is a comprehensive box that provides multiple functionalities; I appreciate it because we can integrate many applications and any kind of API we want to integrate."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
 

Cons

"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"They keep producing new versions at a rate that we cannot keep up with. That is a problem for us because they have a very small set of supported versions."
"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate API consumption plans and to be able to throttle API execution against those consumption plans at run time could be better."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license. The solution is free."
"The solution’s pricing is too high."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."
"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
"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."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
