Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

7.2

webMethods.io scalability varies, effective with cloud and vertical scaling, but may require careful planning for high transaction volumes.

Sentiment score

6.6

WhereScape RED efficiently scales with large data, improves ETL processing, and enhances speeds using ELT and SQL features.

If any webMethods.io product is installed on-premises and a company wants to scale its application, either vertical scaling or horizontal scaling is needed.

Whenever more resources are needed, they become available automatically without any human interference.

Vertically, scalability is fine, however, I have not expanded horizontally with the product yet.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score

7.6

webMethods.io is stable with high user ratings, though stability varies by setup; cloud versions may need improvement.

Sentiment score

6.6

WhereScape RED's stability varies; it's praised for maturity and speed, yet some report resource and debugging challenges.

There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.

Samer Ghanim

Information Technology Specialist at PACI

We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.

Room For Improvement

webMethods.io struggles with legacy models, integration issues, and cost, prompting user requests for UI, analytics, and AI enhancements.

WhereScape RED suffers from scalability issues, lacking performance efficiency, enhanced documentation, better GUI, and improved support for multi-database environments.

Another enhancement would be in OCR; currently, there is a huge demand for OCR capabilities. It would be perfect if webMethods.io had a built-in component for OCR, as this would be tested and allow customers to use it better than a third-party OCR application.

ZiyadThaher

Sales Director at Proven Consult

When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that.

Yashraj Makwana

Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees

A special discount of at least 50% for old customers would allow us to expand our services and request more resources.

Setup Cost

webMethods.io provides flexible enterprise-focused pricing, notable for high capability yet potentially high costs, with scalable and negotiable options.

WhereScape RED's flexible developer-based licensing and native SQL code provide cost-effective, vendor-independent data warehousing solutions with quick ROI potential.

Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.

Valuable Features

webMethods.io offers scalable integration, real-time connectivity, and secure, user-friendly API management for efficient enterprise workflow and system connectivity.

WhereScape RED streamlines data warehousing with automation, agile support, user-friendly interface, and compatibility with leading methodologies.

If we want to make a REST API, SOAP, REST, or any other type, all kinds of things are put in one box and we can make anything we want to.

It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.

Samer Ghanim

I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.

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.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.
