Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The solution is very easy to use. I can download the trial version and just give it a go."
"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"It is a very stable product."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
"The EPA, from what I understand, lacks a lot of features and it doesn't really know how to interface with legacy systems or how to develop APIs for legacy systems."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"Support is expensive."
"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."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
