Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The product is powerful, straightforward, and easy to use."

"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."

"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."

"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."

"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."

"The tool supports gRPC."

"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."

More webMethods.io pros

"I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined."

"The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications."

"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."

Cons

"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."

"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."

"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."

"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."

"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."

"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."

"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

More webMethods.io cons

"There could be more automation included."

"Since it's not a core LMS platform but a module in an HCM platform, if they bring in more personalization aspects from an admin perspective for us to build to give user experience, that would be great."

"At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage."

"We encountered delays with the tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."

"The product is very expensive."

"The pricing is a yearly license."

"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

More webMethods.io pricing and cost advice

"I find it reasonably priced, even for startups. The cost is minimal and depends on what features you want to add. Workday allows customization and personalization, and it operates like a cloud solution, making it affordable as long as you know what you need."
