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 is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage, and it is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"webMethods Integration Server provides a single hybrid integration platform for all our needs."
"Time effective by cutting down development time and resource efficient to developer burden, enhance agility and integration between end-to-end applications, platform"
"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."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
 

Cons

"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"The licensing cost is high compared to other options."
"The price has room for improvement."
"It is quite expensive."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
"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."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license. The solution is free."
"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."
"The product is expensive."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"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."
"The product is very expensive."
