Lightweight and efficient solution
It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

TIBCO Rendezvous is a great tool but has some advantages and disadvantages. It runs on TCP and has a specific port on each server. However, the messages are not guaranteed messages. Messages that float on TIBCO Rendezvous are not persistent, which means we can lose the message. That is the disadvantage of TIBCO Rendezvous. If there is a disadvantage with TIBCO Rendezvous, people prefer to use TIBCO EMS because businesses do not want to lose their messages. The best features in Rendezvous require that when we need to install the TIBCO environment, the dependency of Rendezvous itself is required after the Java installation. There is too much dependency of TIBCO Rendezvous for the TIBCO environment to run. On each server, we need TIBCO Rendezvous messaging to communicate with different servers, both within the servers and outside the server. TIBCO Rendezvous is a good messaging service, but there is a feature of losing messages. We cannot guarantee that a message will reach the client because there is no client send receipt and acknowledgment receipt protocol that works in TIBCO Rendezvous. With TIBCO EMS, we have client send and acknowledgment responses. TIBCO Rendezvous is very good to use within the TIBCO servers. If businesses need to use it, they always prefer to use TIBCO EMS outside the servers, as TIBCO EMS is the best. The response time of Rendezvous is good, but I have one disadvantage only for Rendezvous. We can lose the messages over TIBCO Rendezvous. That is not good for businesses. They are not ready to lose messages.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."
"The solution offers excellent stability."
"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."
"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."
"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."
"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."
"You should read the documentation really well; they have made some improvements over the years during the past 20 years, and it's a hundred times better than what it was back in 1996/1997."
"TIBCO Rendezvous has about 600 days of time without any problems in the system and the infrastructure we have is very stable to support infrastructure."
"TIBCO Rendezvous has a strategy to communicate in the network between the DMO of the product. They provide strategy through secure communication. They use the UDP protocol, but It's not a resilient protocol. They put another protocol to create a type of guarantee. It has a high level of communication between the DMO. This is the best capability the solution has."
"Kubernetes is the platform where we deploy pods containing YAML files, and we deploy Python or Java JAR files and run them without requiring the operating system, allowing us to run applications flawlessly."
 

Cons

"Another issue, which again, I'm not aware if they already have because we have not updated to the latest version, but all the DevOps features would be nice to have because right now they are using their own deployment features."
"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."
"They should not be frequently upgrading the product version."
"I would definitely like to see marketing for this product."
"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
"TIBCO Rendezvous is a good messaging service, but there is a feature of losing messages; we cannot guarantee that a message will reach the client because there is no client send receipt and acknowledgment receipt protocol that works in TIBCO Rendezvous."
"TIBCO Rendezvous is currently restricted in a cloud environment and it would be more useful in a hybrid cloud setup. It does not work correctly in a cloud environment alone. This is something they can improve in the future."
"The point-to-point connection issue with the mailbox needs to improve."
"TIBCO Rendezvous is currently restricted in a cloud environment and it would be more useful in a hybrid cloud setup."
 

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"
"There is a license needed to use this solution."
