What do you like best about IBM webMethods Integration?

Creating integrations with wM.io is easy enough, specially if you already know the on-prem product. Documentation is also very good and helps while performing those tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

I think some features need to be polished. Also I had the feeling that some things would be readier, but when trying to use then it appears that they are somewhat more complicated than they should be. Also lack a tool to convert on-prem flows to wM.io, which would facilitate migrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM webMethods Integration?

Most helpful function of webMethods.io is to expose services via API in a circumstance in which you don't have any API Gateway.

Exposing APIs in this way is really quick and easy, also the performances are really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

Writing flow services is quite complicated and it hasn't most of the functions available in the wmPub on premise package.

Also, dealing with the documentation, is not really easy to understand if it is possible to apply the publish-subscribe pattern fully on cloud and how it is possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM webMethods Integration?

webmethods.io is based on proven technology and solid architectural choices. The web interface is modern and easy to use. In the future on premise and cloud will work together and expert developers will be able to use Designer, where low code or occasional users can use the web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

As an integration expert I'd like to have full control over all components and logging and sometimes the clean interfaces hides information. For instance the queuing (UM) mechanism can't be accessed directly, but is configured and used as a background service. Lastly I'd like the Trading Networks (TN) interface to observe Transactions and their activities and I think it's currently easier to use than the webmethods.io end-to-end monitoring.

What do you like best about IBM webMethods Integration?

With webMethods.io Integration is easy to create workflows to integrate with different partners and applications, this application has a lot of different connectors that help you create integration faster and easier. There are connectors available for a varied set of applications and technologies, you can also build REST and SOAP API connectors using WSDL files or from scratch. There are several recipes that you can use as examples of integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

There are some missing connectors, like RabbitMQ, MQTT and Kafka. You cannot have common objects between projects, which is complicated because you need to replicate common assets across different projects or make an HTTPS call to the workflow or flowservice you want to use.

What do you like best about IBM webMethods Integration?

comparing SoftwareAG webmethods.io to its direct competitors, it is totally on another level, the experience of creating an integration flow is guided and much simpler Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Integration?

Actually there isn't a thing i don't like, being on cloud it's a little frustating that I cannot use and have any type of governance over the virtual machines, but that's understandable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
