Overall Satisfaction with IBM webMethods
IBM webMethods (IWMI) is used as our go-to product and platform to solve enterprise integration related business requirements where data needs to be exposed in a reliable, efficient and secure manner - regardless if it is messaging based, using API based integration patterns or if an event driven architecture approach is the appropriate solution. IBM webMethods solves all of these requirements, regardless if it is on premise, in the cloud, or a hybrid infrastructure situation.
Pros
- Build once - deploy everywhere -driven design and architecture
- Single web/cloud based control plane to manage on prem, hybrid and in cloud
- Manage API gateways and patterns on any ecosystem or cloud provider
Cons
- Clarifying the ongoing and near future roadmap developments in terms of capabilities and architecture
- Merging features, patterns and platform tooling with the rest of the Cloud PAK for integration toolkit
- Adding additional support for AI-driven development, low-/no-code features, and code assistant features
- Reducing development cycle lead times with 25%
- Allowing for quicker onboarding of new team members
- Providing a unified view and platform to support different architectures and integration patterns where MnA business requirements impact technology
The unified cloud based control plane is a significant feature together with the iPaaS - integration platform as a service - capabilities the cloud based integration platform allows. As ever more data and application workloads move into a cloud based infrastructure, it makes perfect sense and lowers both cost and risk to put the integration capability in closer proximity in the overall landscape and estate.
With lower barriers to implement cloud based integration features, the app development teams can drive a more efficient approach to cloud first architectural principles, which, together with the shortened development cycles and lead times, allow the business to react quicker to changing market requirements and needs cropping up on short notice.
The two branches of the IBM integration portfolio are coming together nicely, and it's more a question of fully mapping the specific implementation requirements to the respective platform of choice when selecting between IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and IBM webMethods. Pricing and licensing model, cloud strategy, and level of distributed responsibilities and ownership of integration in the organisation can be deciding factors.
