What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

* Supervision tool (optimize for Infra) is only a joke at least up to 8.2 : It’s missing lot of important figures to really follow ISes’ health (I built in house monitoring based on Flow/Java probes + PHP GUI which is far far more informative than O4I is providing).

* Every patch campaigns needs long regression testings … due to bug and regression introduced by fixes.

* Starting 9.x, administration tools were totally jeopardized among several interfaces : IS Admin, MWS, Terracotta, UM, …

* not always OpenSources friendly. Especially, web services are quite limited (a shame for such product) and I had to fight against wM to make them usable by PHP WS clients : wM's WS stack doesn't support all variants of WS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
