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 problems is IBM webMethods Integration solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us to expose rest services without having to de with a more complex api gateway.

Also it permits us to integrate 2 cloud touchpoints without having to reach the on-premise environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Fatima El Megrabi of IBM webMethods Integration

Hello,

Thank you very much for reviewing webMethods. We’re sorry to hear you found some parts of the platform complicated. Rest assured that we are already taking steps to improve this. Your input is a vital component of our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible experience to our users.

We just announced Super iPaaS in October with some major new capabilities for webMethods. You can find more about them in the link below.

In case you have any further comments, our team is available for a chat to discuss - please don't hesitate to reach out.

Kind regards,

Software AG

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM webMethods Integration solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its short lead time to set up compared to the on premises counterpart brings it into current times and gives it a good chance at the competition. Secondly, the licensing structure is much better to sell to customers compared to the previous license structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM webMethods Integration solving and how is that benefiting you?

webMethods.io Integration helps you integrate different technologies easly with all the connectors available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration?

webMethods.io B2B is an iPaaS product recently introduced into the webMethods.io ecosystem. It is based on the on-premise Trading Networks which has a long history of providing B2B functionality, stability and good performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration?

I feel that it is still lacking in features compared to Trading Networks. Hopefully the product will mature over time and will meet most of your customers' needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration solving and how is that benefiting you?

Following our cloud-first strategy, we will be progressively migrating our on-premise assets into cloud. This means our Enterprise gateways and Trading Networks at some point would be running of an iPaaS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
