An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services

Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"API management and defining varying protocols are the most valuable features"

"Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the web's UI development."

"There are always continuous improvements that are happening."

"The stability is consistently high, with only one notable issue encountered."

"It is stable."

"We've been pleased with the level of technical support."

"It has improved the efficiency of development."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can connect with different applications."

More Oracle Service Bus pros

"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."

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

"webMethods Trading Networks is a good solution for interacting with outside of the organization. We can integrate the solutions with multiple outside the organization."

"The tool supports gRPC."

"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."

"The performance is good."

"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."

"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."

Cons

"There are times when I select components in composite and they do not appear, and I cannot figure out why."

"The connectivity with the solution is an area that needs to be improved. On occasion, requests are lost due to losing connectivity."

"If they can containerize this, that would be nice. If they can provide docker images and offer support for those containers, that would be great."

"The initial setup is likely complex for many organizations."

"There are issues, especially if you want to create some compensation in your service bin."

"The pricing of the product could be better. It's a bit high."

"This solution should work better with RESTful services."

"It would be ideal if they could optimize it a bit."

More Oracle Service Bus cons

"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."

"I would like the solution to provide bi-weekly updates."

"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."

"The solution's release management feature could be better."

"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."

"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."

"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an unlimited yearly license."

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"I'm not aware of how much Oracle Service Bus costs."

"Oracle Service Bus is a bit expensive"

"This is a very expensive product and the price varies depending on factors such as the number of processors and the number of users. Our licensing fees are approximately $300,000."

"The price of this solution is better than the subscription-based Mule ESB."

"It is worth the cost."

"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."

"The pricing is a yearly license."

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

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."
