Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up.""The developer portal is a valuable feature.""In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature.""This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight.""I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features.""It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker.""The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy.""What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature.""Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration.""It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals.""I like the tool's scalability.""There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility.""The solution is scalable.""The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."

Cons
"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better.""They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding.""With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved.""With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance.""There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere.""Understanding the overall architecture is difficult.""It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses.""The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."

"The solution's release management feature could be better.""Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved.""It is difficult to maintain.""I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier.""webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors.""The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols.""The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."
  • "The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
  • "The product is very expensive."
  • "This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."

  • "The pricing is a yearly license."
  • "webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
