Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The feature I have found most valuable is the easy synchronization with other tools.""It is perhaps the most user-friendly web forms automation software. At least, I did not find anything better while testing several others similar to it.""I love this software because this software helps me to increase team productivity day-by-day.​""The clean interface, prioritization, and private task lists aren't present in other solutions.""The ability to access Comindware Tracker from mobile has been greatly valuable to our organization. We are often out of office and this can create timeframe and task management issues. Being able to access tasks and time tracking while on the move is a great asset.""This solution can be useful for tracking the different stages of projects and the people working on them.""This software makes it so easy and enjoyable to work with the team. Any user can learn and start using the application quickly.""​It was easy to set up my team with access credentials to their files.​"

"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server.""The tool supports gRPC.""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.""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.""The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong.""All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value.""A product with good API and EDI components.""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."

Cons
"If your organization has only a few team members then this tool is not suitable.""The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services.""The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky.""The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation.""I am expecting new updates to improve the software.""I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose.""The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation.""It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."

"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems.""The orchestration is not as good as it should be.""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.""The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature.""Technical support is an area where they can improve.""The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly.""A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs.""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."

    webMethods Integration Server is widely considered to be the best integration server available in the marketplace today. The solution can help users integrate everything and anything.

    webMethods Integration Server allows organizations to display and integrate existing and new business activities. The solution offers components that help users create, test, and install new services. webMethods Integration Server can automate, organize, and construct various gathered services and traditional legacy systems into productive value-added processes. webMethods Integration Server works as a secure platform for distributing and running services. The solution obtains and translates user requests, recognizes and records the requested service, translates and moves the data in the necessary format, receives the information back, and returns the information to the user in the appropriate original format. webMethods is the primary solution used by enterprise organizations for integrating functional coordination with application servers, custom applications, and databases. webMethods makes it easy for enterprise organizations to share electronic documents seamlessly.

    Users have several options to audit webMethods Integration Server processes using some of the component metrics below:

    • Adapters: Using the SOA extension for webMethods, users can easily monitor the performance of every adapter users have deployed. Available metrics include Adapter Services, Adapter Connection Pools, and Adapter Notifications nodes.

    • Business Processes: A business process is a process that uses a specific set of rules to perform tasks in a prescribed order. Many business processes depend on the successful integration of numerous systems, involving many people in varying roles. With the SOA extension for webMethods, users can easily monitor that workflow, ensuring that processes are being performed as defined.

    • Java Services: This includes services created in Java or in languages coordinated with Java.

Documents can be published locally on the server or to the broker that will send the document out. A JMS trigger receives inbound messages and then processes those messages accordingly.

    Reviews from Real Users:

    “There are a few things about this product that we definitely like. It is very robust. If you build it nicely, you can't go wrong with it. It's rock solid. The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easy and very fast.” - Rohit S., Integration Lead at a wellness & fitness company
