"Not great"
Product Reviewed: IBM webMethods Integration
What do you like best about IBM webMethods Integration?

I worked at a company that used WebMethods for a lot of custom client work; I used it to solve a lot of integration problems. As a whole it is pretty flexible and powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

You have to use their IDE, which is pretty restrictive. There is no good way to make changes if you don't use it.

At the time I used this, different versions of WebMethods required different versions of the IDE, so I had to have 3 different IDEs installed at all times depending on which site I was working on. This could have changed, I used the product professionally until about 2012.

It took me a really long time to learn how to use. Their approach is pretty unconventional.

I don't know why they thought that the visual interface would make things easier to work with, it really didn't. They would have been better off with a solid DSL that could be editing in any text editor than the restrictive solution that they chose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid but overwhelming"
Product Reviewed: IBM webMethods Integration
What do you like best about IBM webMethods Integration?

This tool is very useful and makes integrating services together easy, once you know what you are doing. Using this in conjunction with our product we were able to integrate to any system that already existed for our clients. This helped us make deals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

It was very difficult to learn how to properly set it up. Also because it had many options there were sometimes more than one way to do the same thing, and so when maintaining it you would need to know all of those options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM webMethods Integration?

The versatile feature set that the webMethods product suite offers is exhaustive and it offers an industry class solution for every Integration need. It is one of the best product suites for use as an ESB solution. I have never faced any integration problem that we have not been able to solve using what's available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

Some of the proprietary implementations for integration concepts does not allow for custom development. For example, the JMS implementation is customized and any change to it requires an engineering fix from SAG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
