Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
When working with AWS GovCloud, we often did not get an answer in time because AWS seemed more focused on the commercial side.
Owner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The technical support from TIBCO BusinessWorks is very good.
E2E Delivery Expert - Ignite Delivery & Technical Enablement at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
Customer service is very helpful.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
I rate TIBCO technical support as fantastic on a scale of one to ten.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
AWS Database Migration Service is scalable, but large datasets may cause performance lag, requiring manual adjustments for complex tasks.
Sentiment score
6.4
TIBCO BusinessWorks is scalable and versatile, but users report mixed experiences with autoscaling and cost issues outside the cloud.
Even if there was a failure, we could catch it and rerun it.
Software architect at Cognizant
While scalability is good, latency exists due to our business nature.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
AWS's scalable nature involves a human approach, meaning it is not auto-scalable.
Lead Architect at Fracral
It is not like AWS where I can add memory or more servers.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
AWS Database Migration Service is generally stable, but users have mixed experiences with large data volumes and ongoing migrations.
Sentiment score
7.4
TIBCO BusinessWorks is stable and reliable, though version 6 faces migration challenges and SAP Adapter issues, averaging high ratings.
Minor version upgrades are handled by DMS automatically.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
TIBCO BusinessWorks is quite stable and scales very well, so we are happy.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
It is stable, however, every now and then, it just ends.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Database Migration Service needs enhancements in compatibility, performance, support, user interface, flexibility, scalability, and documentation.
TIBCO BusinessWorks faces usability issues, high costs, inefficiencies, and lacks advanced integration with AI, IoT, and cloud.
DMS works within AWS ecosystem, but they also have to look for third party solutions. Now Snowflake is a bigger player, or Databricks.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
Sometimes, those who implement the service face problems and resolve it, but I may not even know what problems they faced.
Owner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
Performance and latency could be enhanced.
E2E Delivery Expert - Ignite Delivery & Technical Enablement at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.
Senior Analyst at Etisalat
 

Setup Cost

AWS Database Migration Service is affordable, but licensing and regional differences affect costs, offering good value overall.
TIBCO BusinessWorks pricing is costly for smaller companies but more reasonable for large enterprises with flexible resources.
Because we have enterprise licenses, the pricing for TIBCO BusinessWorks is quite reasonable for us, so we do not see any issue.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
The current licensing cost for the product involves our resource sourcing team for negotiations.
E2E Delivery Expert - Ignite Delivery & Technical Enablement at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
Pricing is for an enterprise application, so the company pays for it with a company license.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
 

Valuable Features

AWS Database Migration Service is cost-effective, scalable, offers live replication, real-time sync, and integrates well, minimizing administrative tasks.
TIBCO BusinessWorks provides user-friendly, scalable solutions with robust integration and low-code environment for efficient connectivity and rapid deployment.
My main valuable features of AWS Database Migration Service include the ability to move data securely and continuously synchronize changes during the migration process, ensuring a smooth transition to the cloud.
Analyst at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
The scalability option is another valuable feature because AWS provides its own compute behind it, so I can scale up and scale down at any given point.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
This eliminates the typical low-level technical work like setting up the server and networking, which helps significantly.
Owner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It's a great software application for the middleware use cases to connect the front channels to the back ends in a secure and safer way.
Senior Analyst at Etisalat
When I have an architecture designed to plug in the service itself with BW, it makes things much easier.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
TIBCO BusinessWorks' real-time data exchange capability has benefited our customers greatly; we conduct a lot of messaging with Superstream and external partners, so it works well for us.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia

Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
Streamlines data migration across platforms with cost-effective and scalable solutions
We have the continuous data integration feature, but it does not work very well in our given ecosystem because we have huge data volume, and it reads from archive log rather than the redo sequence. That is where it lacks, so we are not able to do continuous streaming data injection. The ability to handle heterogeneous migrations for our organization is adequate. I do not see a major value add, or see it as a marquee feature. It is a good tool, but we do not have that sort of uses requirement. In my 10 plus years of experience, I do not see that kind of requirement where I have to replicate it in real time. I leverage AWS CloudWatch for addressing migration issues. The major challenges come across CDC. We have created latency filter and everything, but there is no way to control it. Due to the nature of our business, the transactions increase during month end and year end. My transactions are supposed to increase, my workloads on my core system increases, but my DMS is not able to keep up with them, even if I increase it to a higher side. Improvements could be made in AWS Database Migration Service. Because of that, I am moving out of DMS now to a STRIIM solution. DMS works within AWS ecosystem, but they also have to look for third party solutions. Now Snowflake is a bigger player, or Databricks. Something that could be possible as a connector, whether paid or free, but giving as a connector to that ecosystem as well.

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.
