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)."Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"The solution is flexible for all programming languages for all frameworks."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"The product is stable."
"Development on Apache Airflow is really fast, and it's easy to use with the newer updates. Everything is in Python, so it's not hard to understand. They also have a graphical view, so if you are not a programmer and you are just an administrator, you can easily track everything and see if everything is working or not."
"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."
"The stability is good."
"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"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."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"Apache Airflow could be improved by integrating some versioning principles."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
