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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"If you can afford it and you are looking for a high-standard and high-performing solution for your use case with excellent support, you should go for it."
"With this platform, the return of investment would be less than one year."
"The GUI and IDE features of this solution are easy to work with and to develop. We find application management easy using this solution. It is a stable product"
"It's great for large clients, where it is largely being used."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance is robust."
"TIBCO has proven to be far superior, and we later realized that the capabilities that TIBCO had were far, far superior to what Oracle was able to offer so we chose TIBCO instead."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"The installation process is easy."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The built-in connectors help with quick connectivity to the platforms, and we are using this for both our banking and insurance clients."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration between core banking and other systems."
"WSO2 Enterprise Integrator may cost you about twenty-five thousand dollars annually per year compared to IBM Cloud Pak, which would cost you around one million dollars."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
 

Cons

"The biggest disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive; it's just too costly."
"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would be better if this could be reduced."
"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 initial setup process could be easier."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."
"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."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive."
"Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
"Price-wise, I would say that the product is expensive."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
