"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance is robust."
"The solution is very stable."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."
"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.)"
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"The product is very stable."
"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."
"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"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."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"Support is expensive."
