Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end.""Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong.""The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important.""The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents.""It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay.""They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements.""The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."

"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform.""Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool.""We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces.""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 development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast.""The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services.""The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good.""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."

Cons
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members.""We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome.""I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution.""Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present.""There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful.""In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues.""At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."

More Newgen OmniFlow Cons →

"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable.""The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly.""webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters.""Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area.""The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature.""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.""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.""This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."

    Overview
    Platform-independent, scalable Business Process Management solution that enables automation of organizational business processes. It has seamless integration abilities allowing it to be introduced into any IT infrastructure. OmniFlow is designed to ease the creation, deployment, modification and management of Business Processes with no programming effort and differentiates with other Business Process Management products through its ability to deploy rapidly to automate a complete process.

    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.

    • WebServices: This includes services regarding webserver endpoints and performance.

    • XSLT Services: This service will allow users to transform XML data into other formats and includes the transformation to other services.

    • Thread Pools: This metric uses threads to conduct services, gather documents from the webMethods Broker, and initiate triggers. 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

    “One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. When clients come to me with any problem, in about 99% of cases, I say, "Yes, it is feasible to do through webMethods." It has reached such a level of flexibility and maturity. Most of the things are available out of the box, and even if something is not available out of the box, we can customize it and deliver it for a client's requirements.” - Sushant D., IT specialist at Accenture
