Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"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."
"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"It is quite expensive."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."
"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."
