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.

Interfacing flexibility enhances integration capabilities while improving personalization features

The best feature is that with the Workday Business Process Framework, once you set it, you don't have to have a lot of manual interference. In other platforms of LMSs, assignments require manual interference every single time. With the Workday Business Process Framework, if I trigger something, it keeps rotating. If I need to make a minor change, it works fine without impact. With other assignments, you have to stop the current one and create a new one. Editing the current Workday Business Process Framework to trigger something is more feasible than editing an entire assignment in any other platform. From the in-built versions to making sure you have a community of practices adapted inside the system, learners have a much better understanding, and you can utilize the Flex Teams to do community management. We are also utilizing many in-built features in terms of dashboards that are currently there for an admin perspective. The platform is capable of doing much better. It depends on how you want to use it. If you search online, you see very limited capacities of Workday that we can use, but when you drill down and see how best you can utilize it, you have much better versions of how Workday Learn can be used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."

"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."

"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."

"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."

"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."

"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."

"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."

"The stability is good."

More webMethods.io pros

"I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined."

"The best feature is that with the Workday Business Process Framework, once you set it, you don't have to have a lot of manual interference."

"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."

"The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications."

Cons

"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."

"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."

"A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."

"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."

"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."

"Scalability and connectors to different cloud applications is lacking."

"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."

"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."

More webMethods.io cons

"We encountered delays with the tool."

"At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage."

"There could be more automation included."

"Since it's not a core LMS platform but a module in an HCM platform, if they bring in more personalization aspects from an admin perspective for us to build to give user experience, that would be great."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."

"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."

"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."

"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

"The product is very expensive."

"I would like to see better pricing for the license."

More webMethods.io pricing and cost advice

"I find it reasonably priced, even for startups. The cost is minimal and depends on what features you want to add. Workday allows customization and personalization, and it operates like a cloud solution, making it affordable as long as you know what you need."
