  ### 16. webMethods Integration Server Pros and Cons

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** SYED FARAZ A. | Senior Consultant (SC2), Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2020

**What do you like best about IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration?**

The ease of development is unmatchable and the Monitoring of Transaction, Trasaction management, security, Xml support, EDI and B2B is so much mature it cannot be by any other product.

**What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration?**

The main Drawback is the Complexity of CI/CD. The CI/CD process in any other integration tool is very simple and straight forward while in webMethods its extremely complex and difficult to implement. 
Another thing is the release of new version every 6months. To be frank its ridiculous to see so many versions coming up so fast. Its good to release new additions in product but that can also be added as patch instead of new release every 6months.
Another thing to highlight is the access to empower for senior resources in the industry who has worked on product for more than 10-12 years and they are working on different product just because of lack of opportunities in their location and lack of access to advanced kebd articles.

**Recommendations to others considering IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration:**

Apart from CI/CD support the webMethods product is absolutely awesome and very easy to develop the code and developer friendly

**What problems is IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration solving and how is that benefiting you?**

IDE can be made more user friendly by improving the mapping patterns.

We are using the webM servers to transform SAP data into JSON messages to be sent to Salesforce, and we were able to connect to those applications seamlessly without any ad-hoc issues.

The solution which we made has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas.

It has enabled us to integrate some systems which needed a form of translation.

It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine).

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2020

**What do you like best about IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration?**

WebMethod IS has many readily built components that cover almost every aspect of Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) with consistent way of implementation. 
It also go beyond EIP to include enterprise security, webservice, messaging, database connectivity service components ... etc. which are widely used features in Java EE implementation.
It allows user to further customized / extent the service components using Java programming but it's not straight-forward.
Deployment is simple if you design the solution as recommended in the training.

**What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration?**

1. The learning curve could be hard initially, especially those who new in Software AG webMethods product. 
2. The product (IS Designer) also run slow in average spec PC, especially those work in a assigned virtual desktop i.e Citrix, VMWare with 2-4 cores CPU. 
3. Despite the rich features, the UI are somehow not intuitive, need to try & error lot of times before succeed & community helps & practical usage examples are scarce if searched over Google.

**Recommendations to others considering IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration:**

webMethods IS Cloud is best used if your organization has lot of sub system which do not designed base on same architecture, or legacy systems which was created over different period where their output format, technology varies and your company is fully ready for working online. webMethods Integration Cloud ease routing of transaction/data, transform / map them accordingly as needed, save cost by orchestrating existing systems for new goal without need to develop a new one . Dedicated System Administrator is a must when implemented at full scale to take care of network/system performance issue.

**What problems is IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm using webMethods Integration Server to create SaaS services facade in private cloud to serve requests & do routing to other nodes for further process. In this project I'm using SOAP Web Service, both as producer & consumer. Web Service Descriptors are used to publish implementation details to other potential IS user. The request, depends on incoming parameters, will either be processed & returned as producer, or route to other web-services as consumer for further data processing which results are further aggregated before response back to service call. The respective SOAP web service are written in JavaEE separately. 

I've used components i.e sequence, branch, map etc. to create my routing flow service. I find it quite reusable at times where they can be 'invoke' from other flow (not even need to copy-paste). The debugging of flow service also good that it allows to see the output of each steps and simulate it using different variables.

**What do you like best about IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration?**

For every new interface, we have a reusable code that you can replicate. 
API management and EDI are the most important components of the solution. It has allowed us to integrate some systems that require a type of translation. 
The time is fairly short to launch. For Java users, it's easy to understand. It's better to handle it. Extensive toolset, including library help out-of-the-box. It time effectively by reducing production time and resource utilization, increasing mobility, and the convergence between end-to-end applications and integrations.

**What do you dislike about IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration?**

The mapping tool for the Flow language might be a bit easier to use. DevOps will need to be considered since the project begins. Documentation has to be calibrated, SoftwareAG has a lot of reliance on it. You could fight to execute scenarios without the assistance of Software AG, even with the documentation at hand.

**Recommendations to others considering IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration:**

Use cloud version since the initial stages of project as its painful to migrate later. Its also relatively cheaper to get a cloud version.

**What problems is IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Enterprise integration of multiple in house IT applications.SoftwareAG's Webmethods suite is an enterprise bus that is used for all integrations, bringing all transfers of messages into one program, and making monitoring and integration simple.
