Since it is now one to two hours, I would say it has saved employee hours and time.
Data Engineer

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration's scalability varies; ease or challenges depend on infrastructure, licensing, and configuration specifics.
Sentiment score
6.4
Striim is efficient and adaptable, managing data in hybrid clouds cost-effectively, but challenges arise with very high volumes.
Whenever more resources are needed, they become available automatically without any human interference.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
If any webMethods.io product is installed on-premises and a company wants to scale its application, either vertical scaling or horizontal scaling is needed.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Scalability in webMethods.io is very easy.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Our licensing was based on the number of cores, so even if we have a high number of events on any given day, our license cost would not go high.
Data Engineer
When it comes to scaling with Striim as workloads increase, it has been quite helpful and could adapt easily, saving considerable time in delegation and follow-up because I only need to roll back scripts to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
SQL Server Senior DBA at a media company with 11-50 employees
I would describe the scalability of Striim as very good, as it adapts well.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration is praised for stability and reliability, with the on-prem version rated higher than the cloud.
Sentiment score
7.8
Striim is stable and reliable, with no crashes or downtime, despite occasional slowdowns, and effectively resolves synchronization issues.
There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
webMethods.io is very stable.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
That problem has been completely resolved with Striim.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Striim was very stable.
Data Engineer
In my experience, Striim is mostly stable.
Mainframe lead at Infosys
 

Room For Improvement

IBM webMethods users seek better UI, stability, connectors, seamless upgrades, cloud integration, analytics, and large file support.
Striim requires improvements in performance, documentation, pricing, logging, schema mapping, alerts, AI integration, and user experience for better usability.
webMethods.io lacks advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities, so my customers need to use something additional.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
They have recently come up with a hybrid application where users will be able to use drag-and-drop functionality.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I believe if Striim could use some part of AWS secrets or its own secret mechanism to store the password, that would really save a lot of time so that I don't have to keep updating the password whenever there is any change.
Data Engineer
They could improve the documentation by showing how to configure with different platforms.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Striim can be improved by providing tools such as short videos or step-by-step manuals to clearly demonstrate its capabilities and help users learn quickly.
SQL Server Senior DBA at a media company with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

IBM webMethods pricing suits large enterprises, offering flexible licensing but is considered expensive, aligning with its comprehensive capabilities.
Enterprise users view Striim's pricing as costly, driven by CPU cores, with mixed licensing experiences and unclear specifics for some.
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
webMethods.io is expensive, so I would rate this at seven.
Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Licensing was a bit more expensive because Striim has to read from Oracle GoldenGate trail files and also integrate them.
Technology Specialist Database at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is costly.
Senior Analyst at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees
My experience with the pricing, implementation cost, and licensing of Striim is that it is somewhat expensive.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

IBM webMethods offers robust integration with API management, seamless scalability, and strong governance for diverse business needs.
Striim provides efficient real-time data migration, easing configuration, supporting diverse sources, and enhancing cloud workflows with robust features.
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
Information Technology Specialist at PACI
If we want to make a REST API, SOAP, REST, or any other type, all kinds of things are put in one box and we can make anything we want to.
Developer at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.
Sales Director at Proven Consult
Striim is capable of absorbing a large number of transactions, and the difference between the two databases is always less than a second, which demonstrates efficiency.
Cloud architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
There were significant improvements because once we enabled change data capture, the database was not going down at all.
Data Engineer
It reduces manual intervention because it automatically syncs the data from the warehouse.

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.

Real-time replication has transformed data loads but needs clearer logs and better documentation
Striim offers strong capabilities for real-time database replication. Its core strength is low latency, log-based change data capture, which continuously moves the data without putting heavy load on the source systems. It works especially well in Oracle environments and supports more than 150 sources and targets, including Snowflake, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric, which is hot in the market right now. It handles the initial load and the ongoing CDC in one platform so we do not have to stitch together Kafka or similar processes ourselves. It offers high availability clustering with failovers and can run self-hosted or fully managed on cloud services. The user interface is pretty good and self-explanatory, so there is no issue if a user lands in the application; they do not have to think more. It is self-explanatory, with all the navigation panes clear. However, the only thing is the searchability; if a user has to search which table belongs to which CDC application connection set up on Striim, it is quite extensive and not fruitful from a user interface point of view. Performance-wise, it is quite good; the queues are long, but as I mentioned earlier, the logs are not that self-explanatory that one can understand what exactly is going on behind the scenes.
