We performed a comparison between IBM API Connect and webMethods.io Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The support is good and active. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"The statistics component is easy to use."
"It is quite stable. We've not had any problem. It has made for a good buy because we are finding that other companies that have similar set ups go down maybe once a month."
"Its speed and performance are valuable."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"We really like the runtime capabilities of IBM API Connect. The creation of products and the control of the monetization and hit rate are some of the features which we've found very valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the security we get from this solution. I know of a bank that uses it to ensure that everything is secure. The second feature I like is the retail environment, where we actually want to be able to provide as many suppliers and consumers with APIs as possible. If you are well-trained in the writing of RESTful API's, you can actually publish an API in a matter of minutes, test it, and publish it."
"It is a complete all-in-one solution."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"The developer portal could be easier to customize."
"There are issues with upgrading in the cloud version. The cloud version is extremely buggy. We prefer to use the on-premise version."
"The integration of cloud-based services is where we're looking for improvement in this platform."
"The initial setup and installation could be easier."
"While Azure API Management offers configurable scalability, IBM API Connect relies on Kubernetes clusters. This might seem manual and require defining cluster instances upfront, but it's completely customizable and not on-the-fly scaling. It's completely custom-driven, not on-the-fly scaling, which some may consider cumbersome."
"We would have more capability to interact with the catalog and inventories, so a more DevOps-friendly solution is needed."
"The implementation of IBM API Connect is complex, as it's an enterprise solution with many components that require more than one person. It's not a single product that you work on, and this is an area for improvement, but normally, it's good. Having a more structured model for IBM API Connect support is also room for improvement that would help customers better."
"In the next version, I don't know if they've already been included it or not, but the designer and all the tools should be on the cloud. I don't want any external installation or local installation."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
