Secure, good monitoring capabilities, and the automation gives us a competitive advantage
The two most important features are the lifecycle and the protection of your APIs. On the topic of protecting your APIs, every API management solution has that, which is the core business. Without it, you don't have an API gateway and it's the basic setup that every API management solution needs. Of course, protecting your APIs is very important. With respect to the lifecycle, it is helpful because, in our business, we find it important to have an overview of all of our APIs and to guide our different roles, including architects and solution developers, in the necessary work for delivering a web service. Depending on the type of service, we also want to govern the quality. We don't do it for all APIs but for some categories, we find it very important that the quality is at a high level. This means that we want to govern that and review it. In these aspects, this solution helps us.

Though the tool provides great connectivity functionality, it needs to be made more stable
The main reason my company decided to replace webMethods.io Integration is because of the integration capabilities in the newer versions of the tool. Whenever there is a new version of webMethods.io Integrations, there is a lot of work to be done by our company since the newer versions don't offer seamless integration. The aforementioned reason can be considered for improvement in webMethods.io Integrations. With the solution, our company has experienced sudden outages at times. The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required. Not just the cost related to licensing but also the cost of introducing new versions need improvement in the product. When you have an OS like Windows or Apple, in which some new features are installed when you restart your system, after which everything works fine, with webMethods.io Integration, the new features introduced in the tool don't just need you to stop and restart your application but expects you to update the whole application to be able to use the new functionalities, which is something that is good. My company does a business in which we have to create a complete project which costs a lot of money. In the future, I expect to not be paying a lot of money or extra work to be able to update the product, and webMethods.io Integration needs to update the product automatically.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The cloud version of the solution is very easy to set up."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"The solution is scalable."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."
"The price has room for improvement."
"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."
"The product is very expensive."
"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
