Sentiment score

TIBCO BusinessWorks customer service is generally efficient but varies by region, with some users experiencing delays and expertise issues.

The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten.
The technical support from TIBCO BusinessWorks is very good.

Scalability Issues

SnapLogic offers flexible scalability, effective in diverse scenarios, though some users experienced initial challenges and suggest potential improvements.
Sentiment score
6.6
TIBCO BusinessWorks is seen as scalable, but cost, licensing, infrastructure, and specific limitations impact its effectiveness.
I rate the scalability of SnapLogic as eight out of ten.
It is not like AWS where I can add memory or more servers.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
SnapLogic is considered stable and reliable with minor upgrade challenges, but some prefer Boomi due to support issues.
Sentiment score
7.4
TIBCO BusinessWorks is stable with minimal downtime, but newer versions face upgrade issues; version 5.14 is preferred.
I would rate the stability of SnapLogic as nearly ten out of ten.
But recently, in a year, I haven't found many performance issues in SnapLogic.
It is stable, however, every now and then, it just ends.
 

Room For Improvement

SnapLogic needs to enhance integrations, API management, debugging, customization, real-time processing, and AI features for improved usability.
TIBCO BusinessWorks needs cloud improvements, better integration, refined pricing, enhanced monitoring, and easier external tool integration for users.
They can improve more visuals, with graphical representations, such as how many things can be added, how many users can be added or dropped, and how the back-end nodes can be graphically shown in a better way.
If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy to learn for new users, it would be greatly beneficial.
I tend to frequently communicate with SnapLogic to ask for additional features, and they have been responsive.
The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.
They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six.
Performance and latency could be enhanced.
 

Setup Cost

SnapLogic offers competitive pricing based on nodes and usage, valued for functionality in complex integrations without coding.
TIBCO BusinessWorks is costly, favoring larger enterprises, but price adjustments make it more accessible starting at €2000.
There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower.
SnapLogic is positioned at around seven or eight out of ten in terms of pricing.
The current licensing cost for the product involves our resource sourcing team for negotiations.
Pricing is for an enterprise application, so the company pays for it with a company license.
 

Valuable Features

SnapLogic offers a low-code interface, extensive connectivity, and efficient automation, simplifying complex integrations with robust tools and fast deployment.
TIBCO BusinessWorks is renowned for its user-friendly GUI, scalability, robust integration, and real-time processing capabilities.
I also like the whole child-parent pipeline feature; it allows me to break up a process into smaller pieces and then have one big pipeline that controls these smaller pipelines.
It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI.
I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL.
When I have an architecture designed to plug in the service itself with BW, it makes things much easier.
It's a great software application for the middleware use cases to connect the front channels to the back ends in a secure and safer way.

Featured Reviews

VinethSuresh - PeerSpot reviewer
Achieves rapid results in data migration and has an intuitive user interface
I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL. The interface is interactive, allowing me to quickly learn how to run pipelines and achieve production-ready results swiftly. This agility translates to cost savings, especially for smaller projects and proofs of concept, as less time and effort are needed to deliver results.
AftabAlam - PeerSpot reviewer
User benefits from reliable support and seamless orchestration capabilities
The best features of TIBCO BusinessWorks compared to other products are that it is a roadmap product. The company has proper support. We have similar products in the market, including open source options, but they don't have any support beyond community feedback. TIBCO BusinessWorks is a standard product widely used by many companies. It is more stable, has future releases, and is compliant with new technologies. The significant advantage is that it is a standardized product with a proper, well-planned roadmap, support, and R&D. The positive impact I have experienced from installing TIBCO BusinessWorks is that it is reliable and has better support. It is easy to use and saves overall support costs. The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb. We have implemented it in a Kubernetes cluster with auto-scaling. If any systems go down, we have pods that automatically restart and spawn new pods which start taking the load. Earlier deployments used to be on VMs where infrastructure was limited, making scaling difficult. With Kubernetes, you can provision in advance and scale up or down based on requirements. The graphical user interface of TIBCO BusinessWorks is very easy to use. You can configure all components efficiently. Previously, configuration required opening XML files, which wasn't easy to understand without complete specifications knowledge. The graphical interface makes it easy to understand what needs to be configured and is straightforward to use.
