Smooth integration and enhanced deployment with high licensing cost
webMethods.io was used to integrate APIs through the webMethods.io platform, trigger database events, and connect backend APIs through a Java backend. It was used extensively for integration purposes in my organization Integration became smoother, troubleshooting was easier, and deployment and…

Decreases the development timeframe and costs
The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"The orchestration aspects of APIs, the integration capabilities, and the logging functionalities were the most critical features of our workflow."
"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."
"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."
"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The installation process is easy."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
 

Cons

"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
