Features: TIBCO BusinessWorks provides robustness, scalability, and extensive integration capabilities. It features a user-friendly low-code platform with high availability and load balancing. Palantir Foundry offers a comprehensive platform for data transformation and integration, shining in data visualization and enabling seamless dashboard creation.

Room for Improvement: TIBCO BusinessWorks could improve its cloud capabilities, simplify its complexity, and offer more flexible pricing. Its setup is costly, and licenses are rigid. Documentation and support for non-technical users could be enhanced. Palantir Foundry faces challenges with high costs and could improve its front-end capabilities and integration with external tools. Intuitive data exporting and better technical documentation are also necessary.

Unified data workflows have empowered collaborative analytics and streamlined AI development

Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

Long-term integration has supported real-time data exchange and simplified adapter-based workflows

The challenges I have faced with TIBCO BusinessWorks mostly relate to financial applications that do not come with those adapters, so that requires custom coding. The features currently in TIBCO BusinessWorks are good enough, but going forward, as we are doing a lot of AI-based integrations, I would like to see TIBCO come up with more prompt-driven configurations rather than people having to understand deep technology. AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers. More artificial intelligence functionality would help so people do not have to code.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."

"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."

"Foundry's data visualization is fantastic."

"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."

"The interface is really user-friendly."

"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."

"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."

"It's scalable."

More Palantir Foundry pros

"Good performance and reliability."

"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."

"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."

"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."

"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development, and it takes a short time to get services to work."

"If you see the amount of work that we do with it and the kind of revenue and customer experience because of the value that we get from TIBCO, the high rating is warranted."

"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."

"The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."

"The solution’s data security could be improved."

"The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has."

"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."

"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."

"I rate Palantir Foundry five out of 10. I'm ambivalent."

"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."

"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."

More Palantir Foundry cons

"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."

"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."

"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."

"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler."

"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."

"The initial setup process was not simple."

"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive."

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."

"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"The product is not cheap."

"The cost depends on the components required."

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"

"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."

"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."
