"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."

"The initial setup is not complex."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful."
"It's an ETL that is very good with relational databases but not as good with files and semi-structured files."
"There should be some kind of enhancement that can be done on the admin side of certain sites where we can assign the roles and responsibilities. We should be able to control who is using the tool and how."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"It is quite expensive."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
