A value-for-money solution with the requisite features to facilitate efficient communication within an organization

We have been struggling with the stability of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS), but now I don't know how to differentiate whether the issues are caused by the infrastructure or the product itself. So, I am hesitant to provide a rating because I suspect that it might be due to my setup or environment. I really don't know how to evaluate the product independently. We have faced challenges with EMS, but I am unsure if it is related to infrastructure or the product itself. Even if I reach out for support, I am uncertain if the issue will be resolved since it could be partly related to the product. It's a tough situation.

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

"The solution offers excellent stability."

"Sonic is lightweight, scalable, and does the work; easy to start, setup, and manage, and compared with Oracle much easier and cheaper."

"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."

"Before this, there was a separate front-end software setup for different departments in the organization, which is now clubbed together and provides a single platform for all departments functioning on different business aspects."

"The solution's stability is excellent; it's one of the best features, and we haven't experienced any bugs or glitches that have affected its performance."

Cons

"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."

"They should not be frequently upgrading the product version."

"I would definitely like to see marketing for this product."

"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"

"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."

"The 2015 version was a nightmare at the beginning compared with 2013 version."

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."

More Aurea CX Messenger cons

"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."

"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."

"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."

"It can be improved in the sense that in the market we can see the cloud is coming, but this is not cloud compatible."

"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."

"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."

"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not so high."

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"

"The cost of licensing is very high. One should go for the product only if they need to ensure message reliability and they cannot afford to lose messages."

"In our case, we didn't pay for each product separately. We simply paid for all those companies that provided the components."
