We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."Apache Airflow is easy to use and can monitor task execution easily. For instance, when performing setup tasks, you can conveniently view the logs without delving into the job details."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The product is stable."
"It's stable."
"I found the following features very useful: DAG - Workload management and orchestration of tasks using."
"The initial setup was straightforward and it does not take long to complete."
"Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"The product is very stable."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"The documentation must be improved."
"We need to develop our workflow description and notations because out of the box, Apache Airflow does not provide some features that are needed."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"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."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."
"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
