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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality

Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

"It has helped us streamline data from hundreds of non-SAP systems into the SAP system."

Cons

"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."

"Scalability is not the best capability of this product."

"It could be more user-friendly."

"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions."

"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."

"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."

"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."

"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."

More webMethods.io cons

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."

"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."

"Its cost depends on the use cases."

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

"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."

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

"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."

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

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

More webMethods.io pricing and cost advice

"It is a low-cost solution."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
