Upfront cost involves the fee for installation, customization, and integration with existing systems, besides perpetual license fee. Recurring cost is low in this pricing model and may include the cost for updates, maintenance, upgrades, and patches. Some vendors do offer premium support services, which come for an extra price. Commercial open source: Not relevant for WebMethods The customer can acquire the system free of cost without having to incur any upfront license fee.
You are on your own for providing end-user support, since you are not locked in with a vendor-supplied system solution. How much would it cost to customize WebMethods? Ideally customization cost is more complex to calculate compared to licensing cost. Some apps allow you to easily combine data from multiple sources, without any complicated query requirements, while some others can be embedded into different applications to provide enhanced reporting.
If you seek products that support customizable dashboards and predictive analysis to identity possible trends and facilitate decision making, you may have to pay higher for all the customization features.
Additionally, the following factors may affect the cost of customization: User interface changes Configurable dashboards Data elements required for tracking Forms to collect additional data Dashboard, management and operational reports that are needed. Workflows and how complex they are Forms to collect additional data Here are some questions to answer: How much customization is needed?
How many systems do you want to integrate to? Does your company work like industry standards or does it have its own customized processes? What kind of special reports are needed? Cost of data migration when migrating to WebMethods? Relevant for WebMethods Most companies opt for data migration services from a vendor, which raises the cost of product ownership.
If you choose to transfer data on your own, you can avoid paying the cost of data migration. Data migration cost depends on the amount of data to be transferred, your current software, availability of migration tools, complexity of data, and gaps between the existing system and the new system. If your data is stored in Excel spreadsheets, then it may incur you a lot of time and money to migrate data from Excel.

Basic Reports. Online Customer Support. Marketing Automation. Social Media. Accounting Integration. Barcode Integration. CRM Integration. ERP Integration. My advice would be to just partner with an implementation team and make sure that things are documented so that for upgrades, you're not married to them, and you don't have to use them all the time. I must be blunt. The solution is really hard to use, as the manual and documentation fail to provide proper explanations, especially to people who are first time users of webMethods, Software AG.
I struggle with the installation. I sometimes think that the Integration Server is fine and that I had no problem with the API gateway, only to find myself having to redo this, as I lack a dedicated person who can instruct us on installation. I must rely on the Software AG forum. The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly. I do not have the privilege of contacting technical support, so I try to make use of the information on the internet to self-learn.
This we did for another client. As some of the prospect companies already use webMethods Integration Server, we decided to undertake learning its use. The installation process should be improved for first time users, as it is quite difficult, and it should be made more user-friendly. I cannot comment on the pricing, as this is in the purview of my boss, from whom I received access to download the product.
My role is solely to explore the solution's capabilities. There are five people, myself included, who are involved in learning about the solution for the initial project. A person who plans to use the solution should purchase a license or subscription, so that he will have someone to instruct him on its use.
Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good. I am referring to the PSR involving the middle integration service development. There is a need for much scripting of it. On the development side, webMethod is quite good. By linking apps and services, the webMethods Integration Server allows you to automate processes. In general, I contact technical support if we are experiencing any problems. They are extremely helpful. It can be installed both on-premises and in the cloud.
It has been migrated to the cloud, and we also use it on-premise. I am a user, so I'm not entirely familiar with everything this solution has to offer. I am utilizing one of the technologies that they provide. Using this solution is dependant upon each area's perspective. I can't exactly say, if you had only one user that it's only for this solution or that solution, but it actually depends upon each other's perspectives. I am unfamiliar with cloud-based solutions or their environment.
We are exploring their options and services. This product is used for application integration. I have implemented this solution for many clients across the world. We have been experiencing problems with using Terracotta for clustering, which is something that they should improve. I have been working with this product for approximately 15 years. The organization that I am currently with has been using it for about five. This is a stable product. The Universal Messaging component had some issues with stability, although they have now been fixed.
Over that time, they disappointed the customers for about two years. We had some issues with clustering as we were trying to scale. We are using Terracotta and it gave us some problems. The technical support team pays attention to our issues but at the same time, they don't seem to have an in-depth technical background.
I have just recently started learning about MuleSoft, personally. From my research, I find that MuleSoft is better in terms of their cloud strategy. I have found that the home-grown products from this vendor always do pretty well, but when they acquire new products from third-parties, there has been some disappointment.
There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services. Also, storing the message bodies in the database and allow you to search them would be a nice feature to have. I think anybody who is implementing this product should learn about the balancing and the API portal that is going to be used. You should have a good developer that is able to use the platform and understands most of the capabilities that it provides.
Our customers use webMethods Integration Server to integrate their retail solution, the frontend with the backend. 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. The installation process is very complex, there being many products, each having its own.
The deployment should be simplified. 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.
Other than this, I feel it to be a good tool. I'm an integrator and use the product to provide solutions to vendors. The solution is a good ESB tool. The best part of webMethods is the out-of-box features that it provides to users, which ultimately saves on effort put into development.
We have been having some non-technical, functional issues, which is why we're exploring other products. The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product. As we use webmethods, we continue to look for and research other products that are in the market.
We have not decided if we are moving away from it yet, and there is no specific timeframe for making that decision, but we will continue to research alternatives. Sign In. Post Review.
