Good stewardship and data prep capabilities with responsive technical support, but the deployment can be tricky
The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep. These two are very good on the Talend platform. The Talend data catalog is one of the great features that they implemented recently. It's more about data lineage and it may assist with the data governance program. It is a feature that is emerging in the market now.
Chetan Thote - PeerSpot reviewer
A good master data management solution that gives complete functionality control to the user, but lacks in community support resources
We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product. We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX.

Cons

"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"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."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"We observe performance issues lately. If we perform any bulk update or use the bulk functionality to update the data, during that time, the index rebuild happens in the back end. The operations team faces issues, including downtime or slowness, and we monitor it, performing any required actions such as restarting applications."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
