We performed a comparison between TIBCO BusinessWorks and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"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."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"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."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"It is quite expensive."
"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 solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
