Has required significant improvements due to limited features but offers simple implementation and good support

Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases. After those, WSO2, Kong, and whether you say Informatica API Manager or Boomi AtomSphere API Management, they stand with only three out of ten features which are essential for API management. All the features that Apigee has, they need to add. All the features that MuleSoft has, they need to add. It is not a simple task. The problem is that they lack features. It is not their performance. There are many features to mention. When you take and compare all the features that Apigee has and all the features that MuleSoft has, they need to implement those features.

Offers strong integration capabilities and reliable features but needs pricing and scaling improvements

Many things are evolving with the AI buzz in the market. What I would like to see improved or enhanced in webMethods.io in the future is that since webMethods.io is already under IBM, I think IBM will introduce and integrate AI into it. Additionally, regarding what webMethods.io can improve is the license cost. Other cloud players are also providing the same kind of functionality, such as AWS and Azure. webMethods.io is being installed on-premises, but AWS is providing it directly in the cloud. When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that. There are many competitors in the market for this.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."

"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."

"The product's stability is good."

"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."

"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."

"We can develop almost any interface that we need."

"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management pros

"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."

"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

"We have a reusable code that we can replicate for any new interfaces."

"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a good solution for interacting with outside of the organization. We can integrate the solutions with multiple outside the organization."

"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."

"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."

"High throughput and excellent scalability."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."

"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."

"The solution must provide more AI services."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases."

"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."

"The product is really complex to manage."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."

"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management cons

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

"Technical support is an area where they can improve."

"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."

"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."

"The deployment should be simplified."

"A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."

"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."

"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."

"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."

"The price is reasonable."

"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."

"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."

"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."
