Head of Data Analytics at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

We evaluated Microsoft master data services – it's nice but far from Ataccama RDM especially in workflow features

We use this system for managing reference data. It’s the most useful system for data warehouse because all data sources have to come from relational database. Unfortunately before Ataccama RDM was installed, some reference code books came from EXCEL, which is definitely an error-prone data source that does not have proper dataflow and quality checks when inputting data. We are using this system also for managing hard-coded logic in ETLs by creating special reference tables and creating workflows to update it in a manageable way. We will use it for managing code book which is currently booked in some systems but doesn’t have sexy features as in Ataccama RDM. This system can simplify data transfer between systems, eliminate extra copies and is different from a time perspective.

Associate Director at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Improved workflow collaboration and data flexibility enhance team efficiency, but performance and logout issues require attention

Regarding improvements or enhancements in TIBCO EBX, when it comes to 5.8 to 5.9, there was a really good feature added, which is the hyperlink. When you click on a table, you navigate to deeper tables. If there is a table with ten fields, those ten fields are taken from a second table and interrelated to a third table, you can keep clicking on each field and go deeper and deeper. To come each level above, there is a hyperlink created on the top. You just need to click on the hyperlink and keep navigating back, similar to certain websites. However, there were some drawbacks I noticed with the latest version 6, particularly in terms of performance, where in a few cases, the performance was impacted, necessitating work to get things sorted. Additionally, the logout from the application happened randomly or sometimes it wasn't logging out, which is a compliance issue since users expect to log out after a certain time. Version 6 introduced a strong filtration logic. All EBX versions have a separate section for filters that offer text search and advanced search options. In EBX 6, they enhanced the search feature deeply, including conjunctions and, or, else, allowing you to create your own logic for how you need the filter to work. They also introduced a top-level search feature, where you enter some text, and it searches the entire table. With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues. We dropped the plan to switch to EBX 6 due to other technical limitations on our side. Those were a few pending items we had raised to them, and they were working on resolving them. From a usage point of view, those were the main concerns, but they introduced a good idea about the side panel. The pagination concept was introduced to navigate among different domains, and in the left panel, you have search capabilities and pagination functionality.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Really best product for this certain task area – to make reference data is manageable."

"What I find best about TIBCO EBX is its workflow modeling capabilities, which are very good for a master data management tool."

"We decided to switch to TIBCO EBX because we can organize the data, and it helps manage this data for an accurate and consistent view of the physical business data."

"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."

"The features of TIBCO EBX are highly customizable, which is something I appreciated; we can customize every part of it, set where the labels appear, how they appear, and their order, and have all of these capabilities readily available."

"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."

"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."

More TIBCO EBX pros

Cons

"Creation process of services for on-line validation data (special services which are able to be used by another system) is too complicated."

"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."

"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."

"The initial setup can be a bit complex."

"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."

"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."

"TIBCO EBX has performance issues, particularly with speed. Replicating data can take several hours even with normal median data."

"The documentation needs improvement."

"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
