Provides good visibility of one's applications
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
  • "The deployment should be simplified."

What is our primary use case?

Our customers use webMethods Integration Server to integrate their retail solution, the frontend with the backend. 

What is most valuable?

The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved. The visibility with Java is not so easy. However, the solution allows a person to know where his application is in the ecosystem, which application he is using, what the protocol is and the number of requests. The solution makes identification easy. 

What needs improvement?

The installation process is very complex, there being many products, each having its own. The deployment should be simplified. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using webMethods Integration Server for more than 12 years. I have been working with it over the past 12 months and continue to do so. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation process is very complex, there being many products, each having its own. The deployment should be simplified. Other than this, I feel it to be a good tool.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Java's visibility is not so easy and fairs unfavorably with that of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

I'm an integrator and use the product to provide solutions to vendors.

The solution is a good ESB tool.

I rate webMethods Integration Server as a nine out of ten. 

Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: Integrator

Easy development of integration and transformation applications

What is our primary use case?

This is a middleware tool from Software AG, so when there is a need for EAI/ESB, or B2B; the use cases and implementations are plenty and can vary according to business and enterprise architecture.

For example, an internal application like SAP sends data which is received and transformed by webMethods to EDI, XML, or another user-requested format, and sent to an external business partner (via jms/FTP/WS call).

How has it helped my organization?

One to many, or many to one transformation and delivery is the simplest example.

What is most valuable?

  • Integration
  • Transformation
  • Easy development
  • Connectivity and adapters
  • The variety of tools that are part of the webMethods product suite

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Licensing is an issue since all products do not have central licensing. UM has a different license, IS has a different license, etc. This differs from client to client.
