I'm not part of the contract process but the most of the clients dislike the cost of the tool. As I'm not an expect in that area I'm not able to compare webMethods with another tools from a cost perspective. So I can't say that I agree or disagree with that. From IT perspective I believe that webMethods cover the most of the solutions that are required.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for a simple and intuitive tool to integrate systems, webMethods is the best option. Anyway the SAG vendor is available for everyone to understand their requirements and how the tool could offer a solution.

What differentiates Software AG webMethods Integration Platform from other similar products?

Software Ag products is a right balance between low code and low level code development. One can deliver code using very little knowledge or can dig in to low level development using java or. Net coding on this platform. I believe this is the unique combination of feature only software ag products provides in market. Open community is also growing in this areas which is helping a lot.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Time to market from this product is really quick

What do you dislike most about this product?

Few features desired from a very long time is still missing. Eg. In webmethods oob http2 support and for each parellel feature is missing. Product is still using java11 where it has recently moved.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Go for it. This is better than any other product considering overall cost.

Pros
