We performed a comparison between Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration 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 product is robust."
"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."
"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."
"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."
"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."
"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."
"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."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"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."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
