Pros
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors).""It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data.""It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput.""Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features.""Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases.""Easy integration with Salesforce""We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate.""It is a scalable solution."

"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe.""The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together.""One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on.""The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong.""The MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)""We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces.""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.""High throughput and excellent scalability."

Cons
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data.""Looping through complex data structures can be difficult.""Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs.""I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security.""I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot.""The initial setup can be a little bit difficult.""You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes.""Sometimes additional connectors are needed."

More Jitterbit Harmony Cons →

"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface.""The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that.""Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial.""It could be more user-friendly.""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.""The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult.""As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement.""Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."

    Overview

    Open source integration platform designed to handle the most complex integration challenges between legacy, enterprise and On-Demand applications. 

    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.

    • XSLT Services: This service will allow users to transform XML data into other formats and includes the transformation to other services.

    • Thread Pools: This metric uses threads to conduct services, gather documents from the webMethods Broker, and initiate triggers. 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.

    Reviews from Real Users:

    “There are a few things about this product that we definitely like. It is very robust. If you build it nicely, you can't go wrong with it. It's rock solid. The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easy and very fast.” - Rohit S., Integration Lead at a wellness & fitness company

    “One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. When clients come to me with any problem, in about 99% of cases, I say, "Yes, it is feasible to do through webMethods." It has reached such a level of flexibility and maturity. Most of the things are available out of the box, and even if something is not available out of the box, we can customize it and deliver it for a client's requirements.” - Sushant D., IT specialist at Accenture
