We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"Provides good security features."
"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"The product should improve its support."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"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."
"It is quite expensive."
"The deployment should be simplified."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"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."
