Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.
Gayatri Dhawade - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Architect at Abcl
Has supported seamless integration flows while requiring improvement in cost transparency
Assessing the ease of connecting disparate systems using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps connectors is simple because we have a Standard Operating Process. If we want to use Logic Apps, we just reserve the instances as per our requirement. Even for Blob storage, we use tokenized endpoints that give us access to this storage account, making it secure. At API Gateway, we have policies that help us implement encryption and decryption. Request parameters are mapped automatically, converted to SOAP, XML, or JSON as needed in different formats. We utilize its monitoring capabilities; Event Grids are used for logging events. Additionally, we have implemented a retry mechanism and are using Azure Monitor for end-to-end request tracing.
