Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data.""Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pros →

"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.""It is a very robust system.""The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc.""It is user friendly, it's not complex.""BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic.""The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time.""The most valuable feature is the integration.""It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."

Cons
"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies.""An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Cons →

"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time.""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.""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.""There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve.""TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support.""The cost of the solution has room for improvement.""The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult.""I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
  • More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
  • "Licensing scheme is too rigid"
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
