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.

A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six 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

"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."
"The internal services that they provide make it easy to work with."
"API Gateways and API Management in general first and foremost standardizes and democratizes the Integration problem across all IT domains."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product."
"This solution is flexible and can be used across a number of projects."
"Product is easy to use and work on, very interesting and very helpful."
"webMethods Integration Server provides a single hybrid integration platform for all our needs."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage, and it is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"Programming model with flow is hopelessly outdated."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"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 pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"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 expensive."
"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."
"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
