We performed a comparison between IBM API Connect and webMethods.io Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The technical support is good. Whenever we need anything, we have our IT team work with IBM to change whatever requirement is needed."
"It is quite stable. We've not had any problem. It has made for a good buy because we are finding that other companies that have similar set ups go down maybe once a month."
"It's quite flexible and easy to deploy, especially for beginners. It has almost all the features that an API gateway should have."
"The most valuable feature of IBM API Connect is the security of the protocol."
"The solution provides a common place for all APIs, allowing for easy sharing and exchange of information between internal and external stakeholders."
"Using API Connect allows us to quickly create proxy APIs and saves time on end-to-end testing, which lets us deliver quickly to clients."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to distribute work among our API developers, so we don't have to do all the work as IBM API Connect administrators and IBM DataPower administrators."
"The interface is very nice. It makes the solution easy to use and navigate."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"The solution is scalable."
"I would like to see support for non-Java based services. We struggle a bit to be able to deploy and connect our .NET services because of things like data types. We had to map a couple of things. For one solution provider, we had to move them to .NET Core before we could use it properly. I would like to see more agnostic tool service platforms rather than moving it more towards Java or open source."
"I would like to see automation of the installation. If there could be a single-click function where you could automate everything, that would be helpful."
"API Connect's analytics subsystem could be improved to make it easier to render content from the analytics system and offload it to an external database."
"Understanding the architecture, deployment criteria, and communication methods of the installation can be time-consuming."
"Possible improvement is mainly around having more of the cloud oriented architecture bringing stability in adding new capabilities around security."
"The developer portal could be easier to customize."
"Extracting the data could be improved."
"Documentation for the CLI is not very complete. Also, the support could be improved, and we have had several problems with backing up and restoring the product."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
