Governance has streamlined service registry usage but deployment and integration still need work
I work with GraphQL, REST API, and SOAP services as well. API Connect works with GraphQL and can deploy GraphQL services. I also work with GraphQL in Software AG webMethods API Gateway. I'm working with DataPower. I have experience with IBM API Gateway, API Connect, Event Stream, and App Connect, the Cloud platform integration. I didn't involve DataPower with BPM before. I have used the webMethods API Gateway. I have used an open-source framework that is not a product for a specific vendor. I work with GraphQL in three different products: API Connect, the API Gateway of the webMethods Software AG, and the Java Spring framework. I work with CentraSite and also work with the Integration Server, webMethods Integration Server, and Universal Messaging. The governance is powerful. I can recommend CentraSite for any industry working with service registry and repositories. I would rate it eight out of ten. I have seven years of experience with IBM solutions and rate them nine or ten out of ten. I have one year of experience with webMethods and rate it eight out of ten. I have five years of experience with other solutions. The overall review rating for this product is seven.

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

"The governance is powerful, and you can look up services very easily, which may reduce some development cycle time."
"It's a well-settled, mature platform; the stability is good and it can scale."
"There are many components that we are currently using and all of them are very important."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
"The time to market is relatively less, it's simple to learn for Java users, its administration is easier, and it has an extensive toolset with out-of-the-box libraries support."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."
"The performance is good."
"The Software AG Designer has been great. It's very intuitive."
 

Cons

"The setup is mild. It's not so simple and not very difficult. You can make it happen with some configuration, but it's not easy for non-professional people."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"I think rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"The deployment should be simplified."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."
"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."
"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."
"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."
"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."
"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."
