We performed a comparison between Talend Data Management Platform 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."The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"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."
"We need more dashboards and reporting engines that can provide detailed information for management. In short, we need better analytics."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"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."
"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."
"wM SAP Adapter User Guide - Example, like Message Broker setup was unclear, leading to issues during Testing and we had refer the internet forums to understand that there is a Message Broker Cleanup utility and that needs to be setup as well."
