Comprehensive Integration suite, thats surprisingly far in terms of cloud readiness
What do you like best about the product?
webMethods Integration Server provides a host of built in features for mappings, transformations and relliable messaging. The resilience features of message triggers, the new REST tools that allow you to expose services as REST endpoints within minutes.
The fact that ready made docker containers exist, and that especially Integration Server supports everything needed for scalable cloud microservices (like prometheus support, externalized configuration, etc.)

What do you dislike about the product?
Refactoring of pipeline data is still cumbersome. MWS is old fashioned, heavy weight, not cloud ready and easy to break.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integration of on premise systems, process automation, exposing functionality of our core systems as APIs to our cloud microservices
Except few products, almost all products are maitaining world class standards.
What do you like best about the product?
Software AG IoT Microservices and DevOps, IoT PaaS, New Distributed architecture, solutions that ARIS provides and API management provides end to end solution that a customer requires in these days.
What do you dislike about the product?
The functionalities that Agile Apps and its QA. I have seen so many gaps and defects in this area. Cloud is one of the emerging technology in these days but Software AG did not focus much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our current integrated platform has so many challenges while integrating with other platforms. But with Software AG products helped our integration smooth and efficient.
Best Integration Platform
What do you like best about the product?
webMethods Integration Server is easy to use and the availability of adapters and connectors makes it easy to integrate multiple systems both on prem and cloud infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there's room for improvement in terms of the user experience for lower version of API Portal. That's why we're planning of migrating to a newer version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, most of our applications are point to point. Now that we have Software AG's webMethods, we have a single integration layer that can handle integration points and ensures security.
Software AG webMethods,a strong ESB platform.
What do you like best about the product?
The consultation and services from SAG is incomaparable. I have never seen any product company providing so much content online for the common issues ,the vendors encounters. Also, the consultants from SAG are very prompt , whenever a ticket is raised to provide solutions quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certifications-I recently enquired about taking up the certification from Sydney location .As I am working in webMethods for more than 8+ years , I thought to get myself certified. However, I was being informed that I can give certification only from Bangalore,India or otherwise I would have to wait for atleast 5-10 peope who are interested in giving the certification exam from the location.
I strongly feel that SAG should remove such restrictions and should ease the certification like their competitors(Dell Boomi, Mulesoft etc). Being in the market from so long, they should provide online courses and should even allow people taking up certifications remotely. Also, they should keep the certifications prices very reasonable( I enquired certification, which was 30000 INR .It is very costly for everyone.Not all the companies will reimburse certification charges) .I believe for anyone, learning would be the first step to think if they really want to use webMethods for their integration solutions . If we restrict it ,then we might end up loosing customers,as Mulesoft and Dell Boomi have kept their learning as an open source and much more convinient than SAG.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using SAG webMethods from more than 8+ years and I believe it has helped us strongly for B2B solutions and A2A solutions. Also , the EAI implementations are quite easy and simpler to build using SAG webMethods components.

Due to geographic differences, Software AG may finding difficult in assigning same engineer who worked first on this issue. Due to assigning new engineer for the same issue, customer endup in explaining the issue again and again. This is bit additional effort spent by customer.

Most of our problems are product fix, authentication, adapter issues, SSL communicator protocols. For all these problems, Software AG do provided solution.

What do you dislike about the product?
Software AG webMethods is not born in the cloud era. It did catching up in terms on iPaaS adoption. Monitoring, Testing framework, and various utility frameworks is not available out of the box in the earlier versions. For some they maybe steep learning curve for those new to webMethods. Short product version lifecycle. Upgrading sometimes is a bit complex.

webMethods very robust enterprise integration system
What do you like best about the product?
webMethods is a very powerful integration tool wich provides high flexibility when the interface design is complex and highly customised. The good variety of adapters has made integrations to other packaged application very easy. The great availaibity of product/support documentations make self-learning easy and effective.
What do you dislike about the product?
The application patching/fixes experience is painful. SAG has changed the approach which now release product patches/fixes more often. Due to the short release cycle, some patches/fixes are not thoroughly tested. We had experienced twice that IS core fix has broken a core function in webMethods which gives system administrators very high pressure on regression testing and huge risks for implementtion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the implementation of webMethods in the company, we have modernised the interface design from old, inefficient file based transfer to robust eletronic data intechange. webMethods has empowered business with much better capacility. It provides much better flexibility to handle B2B requests from our customers and suppliers. It also largely reduced the development effort and complexity for our EPR and various different internal systems. It has definitely support the business digital footprint and transformation.
The Ease Of Use Of The AG Designer Software Has Made It The Best BPM Tool With Which I Ha
What do you like best about the product?
The Desginer offers many facilities for multilayer development, its lapse of learning and understanding is shorter compared to other 2 BPM tools that I have used previously. In just minutes you can create and deploy a BPMN in the IS without so many complications and the best of all is the broad and easy integration of services through adapters that adapt to almost any back-end. As for the utilitarian libraries, the software includes a very complete public library that facilitates and complements the developments, besides allowing the facility to develop and expose services in java to preference. In my experience I have worked in 2 different banking entities with this tool with successful results. They only have to improve the support and without a doubt the Software AG Designer would become one of the top tools of the BPM market.
What do you dislike about the product?
The direct support with the company is not so good and the community is very scarce.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BPM integration solutions in a recognized bank for a credit system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Considering the market and its costs on top BPM technologies, I would recommend using the AG Designer Software since it has it all.
