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.

A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users

The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."

"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."

"Our investment is justified based on systems maintenance and migration."

"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."

"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."

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

"It is a very robust system."

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

"The initial setup was straightforward and because we often work with one of the most interesting companies in integration in Italy, what the program offers is absolutely outstanding."

"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"

Cons

"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."

"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."

"There is room for improvement on the learning side."

"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."

"Could be more user friendly in the development area."

"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."

"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."

"Pricing is not one of its strengths. Using Tibco BusinessWorks implies adopting a non-trivial set of products (Hawk, Rendez-vous, EMS in most cases), and previous cost models enabled scalability on installation and deployment."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons

"It is an extremely powerful solution, but it is very expensive, even though it only offers adequate functionality."

"The deployment was rather complicated."

"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."

"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"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."

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"

"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."

"The cost depends on the components required."

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

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"The product is not cheap."
