We performed a comparison between SSIS and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's saved time using visualization descriptions."
"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."
"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."
"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI."
"We like that this solution includes a developer edition, free of charge, to allow for training."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"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."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"The MFT component of webMethods, for example, is easy to set up and convenient to use. It handles files very efficiently and it is easy to automate tasks with complex schedules. Monitoring is centralized to MWS which can be used to monitor other products as well (Trading Networks, BPM, MFT, etc.)"
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."
"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"We'd like more integration capabilities."
"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"The deployment should be simplified."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."
"Support is expensive."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
