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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The program is very user-friendly and the .com order is easy to design."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The best feature is that TIBCO EBX is customizable, allowing any feature that is not available out of the box to be designed by writing Java code, providing custom logic creation essential for users who need specific functionalities and making it best for handling data quality features while allowing integration with systems such as SAP for effective data management and offering scalability to handle varying amounts of data by adjusting instances to improve data processing capabilities."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"Nowadays there are lot of MDM tools available in market, but I would recommend Tibco MDM if good throughput is required with its integration layer."
"Hybris is stable and has good architecture. It's easy to maintain."
"PCM updates businesses on compliance regulations and has the capability of saving businesses a lot of money, and therefore, data integration costs are greatly reduced."
"Our implementation provides the business with the ability to cope with a high volume of orders per day, quickly and successfully in a diversified configurable environment."
 

Cons

"TIBCO EBX does not efficiently handle large volumes of data; during bulk data loads or refresh activities, the system may freeze or workflows may terminate unexpectedly."
"Some optimization on the database and how it is handled would be beneficial."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"TIBCO EBX has the functionality of highly customizable models, but making changes requires going to the backend, implementing changes, and then restarting the server to affect those changes on the UI side."
"One aspect that could be improved in TIBCO EBX is the latency when compared with other tools. This drawback is dependent on the data volume that you have."
"It creates a bundle of all its related entities and its versions too, so the record changes too many times, it ends up with a bigger bundle to load, and this results in it taking longer to update/view."
"We would like to see the community and documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product."
"Version 6 moves to open source but is not very stable and not very usable."
"They can change their backend because it's a little hard to work with. They could streamline it with new technology."
"Purchasing this tool was quite expensive."
"The solution needs flexibility to integrate into discount, vouchers, and orders."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
