A robust product that needs to improve the functionality it offers related to API lifecycle management

I use the solution in my company not as an engineer but as someone who currently operates at a managerial level. The product adds to and serves as a corporate-level product that offers standard integration and helps transport data during one-to-one integration and multi-layer integration while…

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.

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus pros

"High throughput and excellent scalability."

"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."

"The solution is scalable."

"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."

"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."

"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."

"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."

"The orchestration aspects of APIs, the integration capabilities, and the logging functionalities were the most critical features of our workflow."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."

"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."

"The initial setup process could be easier."

"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."

"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."

"I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors."

"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."

"We'd like to see improvements in product support."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus cons

"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."

"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."

"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."

"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 improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"

"For code version control, you need to use some external software."

"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."

"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is a challenge for quite a few customers."

"The price is on the higher side. For the same price, if I go to the previous version, I would have got a lot more capacity with similar kinds of features."

"Price-wise, I would say that the product is expensive."

"The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive."

"Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."

"When it comes to cost, TIBCO is much more competitive than a product like Pega."

"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."

"The product is very expensive."

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

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

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"The solution’s pricing is too high."

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

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus is a platform for developing, deploying, and managing applications that conform to a service-oriented architecture. TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus is a lightweight enterprise service bus that helps organizations bridge the mediation gap in their SOA infrastructure.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus provides service mediation capabilities to the TIBCO ActiveMatrix SOA platform. Service mediation allows you to adapt to changing requirements for developing mediation flows.

webMethods.io Integration is a powerful integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that provides a combination of capabilities offered by ESBs, data integration systems, API management tools, and B2B gateways.
