Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy.""The developer portal is a valuable feature.""What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth.""It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker.""I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features.""In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature.""This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight.""The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."

Cons
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding.""The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution.""Understanding the overall architecture is difficult.""There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere.""With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance.""It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses.""With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved.""In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."

"I would like the solution to provide bi-weekly updates.""A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."
  • "The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
  • "The product is very expensive."
  • "This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
