A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

webMethods.io was used to integrate APIs through the webMethods.io platform, trigger database events, and connect backend APIs through a Java backend. It was used extensively for integration purposes in my organization Integration became smoother, troubleshooting was easier, and deployment and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"The MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)"
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."
"The most valuable feature of webMethods Integration Server is all the capabilities it provides. We leverage most of the features, that they have offered to us. Our vendor has made some additional features on top of the webMethods Integration Server and we use all the features together."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The major hindrance with Palantir Foundry is that being a very closed product, the cost optimization and costing are not exposed to the end users."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."
"Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"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."
"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"The licensing cost is high compared to other options."
