We performed a comparison between Talend Data Management Platform and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers."
"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."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."
"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 orchestration is not as good as it should be."
