"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"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."
"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors."
"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
"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."
"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
"The deployment should be simplified."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
