Drag and drop capabilities simplify service development for easy building
It is drag and drop. Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end. It is easier to build services with BusinessWorks. When I have an architecture designed to plug in the service itself with BW, it makes things much easier. It is easy to integrate, especially when the architecture is well-designed.

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

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"It is very valuable for my work, helping me communicate with other branches, parse data, and change data formats to respond to the front channels with the correct format."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The stability is excellent."
 

Cons

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Performance and latency could be enhanced. Additionally, having signaling stack support would be beneficial."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."
"The cost depends on the components required."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"The product is not cheap."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
