Reliability and support ensure secure financial messaging over decades
The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability. For a bank, reliability is the most critical aspect. We also appreciate the extensive support facilities available worldwide. SWIFTnet FIN's services provide us with reliable connections to entities like European Central Bank, and we plan to join CLS as a direct member through SWIFTnet FIN. The store and forward feature, along with real-time messaging services, are crucial for our operations. Their security measures and compliance with CSP program ensure the highest safety standards. Audits and assessments by companies like KPMG and Ernst & Young further validate SWIFTnet FIN's reliability.

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

"It provides the ability to interact with financial institutions and apply the same rules."
"The most valuable feature of SWIFTnet FIN is its reliability."
"Their technical support is very professional."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage, and it is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"It has helped us streamline data from hundreds of non-SAP systems into the SAP system."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
 

Cons

"I would like for them to work in real-time."
"While SWIFTnet FIN is a robust system, there is room for minor improvements in scalability and installation complexity."
"I would like for them to work in real-time."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
"Keeping in mind that we haven't explored the microservices completely, which has been a key element of their innovation recently, 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."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"The solution should include REST API calls."
"The installation process is very complex, there being many products, each having its own."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"It is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is worth the cost."
"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
"The product is expensive."
"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."
"Its cost depends on the use cases."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."
