We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals.""webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding.""The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI.""They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform.""It is a very stable product.""Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API.""It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers.""All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."

"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals.""Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration.""There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility.""Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature.""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.""I like the tool's scalability."

Cons
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support.""We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics.""When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods.""The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly.""It could be more user-friendly.""The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly.""The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio.""The deployment should be simplified."

More webMethods Integration Server Cons →

"It is difficult to maintain.""webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors.""The solution's release management feature could be better.""Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved.""I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier.""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."

    Overview

    webMethods Integration Server is widely considered to be the best integration server available in the marketplace today. The solution can help users integrate everything and anything.

    webMethods Integration Server allows organizations to display and integrate existing and new business activities. The solution offers components that help users create, test, and install new services. webMethods Integration Server can automate, organize, and construct various gathered services and traditional legacy systems into productive value-added processes. webMethods Integration Server works as a secure platform for distributing and running services. The solution obtains and translates user requests, recognizes and records the requested service, translates and moves the data in the necessary format, receives the information back, and returns the information to the user in the appropriate original format. webMethods is the primary solution used by enterprise organizations for integrating functional coordination with application servers, custom applications, and databases. webMethods makes it easy for enterprise organizations to share electronic documents seamlessly.

    Users have several options to audit webMethods Integration Server processes using some of the component metrics below:

    • Adapters: Using the SOA extension for webMethods, users can easily monitor the performance of every adapter users have deployed. Available metrics include Adapter Services, Adapter Connection Pools, and Adapter Notifications nodes.

    • Business Processes: A business process is a process that uses a specific set of rules to perform tasks in a prescribed order. Many business processes depend on the successful integration of numerous systems, involving many people in varying roles. With the SOA extension for webMethods, users can easily monitor that workflow, ensuring that processes are being performed as defined.

    • Java Services: This includes services created in Java or in languages coordinated with Java.

    • WebServices: This includes services regarding webserver endpoints and performance.

Documents can be published locally on the server or to the broker that will send the document out. A JMS trigger receives inbound messages and then processes those messages accordingly.
