A robust product that needs to improve the functionality it offers related to API lifecycle management

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten. My company consists of around 7000 employees, and we use the solution as an integrated service in around 300 to 400 systems, both internally and externally, making it a huge number. Our company uses the solution every minute and every second, and we can't function without it.

Interfacing flexibility enhances integration capabilities while improving personalization features

The best feature is that with the Workday Business Process Framework, once you set it, you don't have to have a lot of manual interference. In other platforms of LMSs, assignments require manual interference every single time. With the Workday Business Process Framework, if I trigger something, it keeps rotating. If I need to make a minor change, it works fine without impact. With other assignments, you have to stop the current one and create a new one. Editing the current Workday Business Process Framework to trigger something is more feasible than editing an entire assignment in any other platform. From the in-built versions to making sure you have a community of practices adapted inside the system, learners have a much better understanding, and you can utilize the Flex Teams to do community management. We are also utilizing many in-built features in terms of dashboards that are currently there for an admin perspective. The platform is capable of doing much better. It depends on how you want to use it. If you search online, you see very limited capacities of Workday that we can use, but when you drill down and see how best you can utilize it, you have much better versions of how Workday Learn can be used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance is robust."

"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."

"It is easy to develop. It has a very wide range of features. The older versions are very stable, and there are no issues with the product."

"The stability of this solution is excellent."

"The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based."

"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."

"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus pros

"The best feature is that with the Workday Business Process Framework, once you set it, you don't have to have a lot of manual interference."

"The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications."

"I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined."

"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies."

Cons

"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."

"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."

"The initial setup process could be easier."

"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."

"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."

"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."

"I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors."

"We'd like to see improvements in product support."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus cons

"We encountered delays with the tool."

"At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage."

"Since it's not a core LMS platform but a module in an HCM platform, if they bring in more personalization aspects from an admin perspective for us to build to give user experience, that would be great."

"There could be more automation included."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."

"When it comes to cost, TIBCO is much more competitive than a product like Pega."

"The licensing cost is a challenge for quite a few customers."

"Price-wise, I would say that the product is expensive."

"The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive."

"The price is on the higher side. For the same price, if I go to the previous version, I would have got a lot more capacity with similar kinds of features."

"I find it reasonably priced, even for startups. The cost is minimal and depends on what features you want to add. Workday allows customization and personalization, and it operates like a cloud solution, making it affordable as long as you know what you need."
