It assures our rolling out the best processes."
"Objects can be reused across different BPMNs and processes, so we can design new processes quicker and easier."
"It brings transparency and 360-degree views of end-to-end processes."
"This solution has helped us in terms of discovering business processes."
"From an architectural point of view, when you're looking at the business area, you can find all the information you have to use as an architect."
"ARIS provides the basic foundation for any digital transformation an organization decides to take."
"Visualizes processes which helps the business see pain points."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the solution to fully customize the methodology according to the company's needs, and to enforce that methodology with features like filters, semantic checks, and reports."
"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."
"The stability is good."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"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."
"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 messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"Integration with third-party tools should be improved (e.g. based on APIs)."
"Migration to the next release is very tricky. You can't do it without support from ARIS or from a software kit. And it takes a lot of time and a lot of money to migrate. My impression is that a lot of companies do not migrate regularly because of that issue."
"The reporting and the information query features could do with some improvement."
"One of the biggest challenges is to realistically enable the defined structures of the processes that you have in ARIS documented, and then actually implement them in the business."
"The tool must provide more documents."
"The user interface could be more intuitive and better designed."
"I believe the solutions BPM tools are not very good and need improvements."
"The product is difficult to use for someone without prior knowledge of working with it. It requires a certain level of administration training."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made 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."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
