Automation and lineage visibility have transformed how our teams schedule and monitor ETL workflows
There are multiple products from Dagster Labs: Dagster Cloud, Dagster Labs, and sometimes it is quite confusing to choose which one for what purposes. I know there are some licensing buckets for small organizations, medium organizations, and bigger organizations, so the modeling and the cost estimation part could be more intuitive, making it easier for beginners to understand how much time and money they would save by onboarding Dagster Labs in their project. I deducted two points because I faced some challenges working with the Git repository integration with Dagster Labs due to some security keys or some weird issue. I had to get in a call with Dagster Labs subject matter expert, and we really struggled for two to three weeks because we could not establish the secure connection through that.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a product, it is one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with."
"Dagster Labs has provided a good sense of the data pipeline I have been using, and I have started to trust it even more because I have full confidence in whether it has been updated correctly and if it has failed."
"Dagster Labs has impacted my organization positively by enabling faster project delivery since it has reduced a lot of manual efforts, especially the manual scheduling part."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted my organization because whenever there is a change in the data, it becomes easy for me to schedule the job, run the changes, and make changes to be imported to the slowly changing dimension tables."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted our organization by making it much easier to create data pipelines, helping us create new use cases, and allowing us to transform all of the data we have into features, which Dagster Labs has greatly assisted with."
"The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
 

Cons

"Additionally, the billing for Dagster Labs Cloud Plus is somewhat restrictive regarding the number of seats, which often pushes users towards the enterprise plan."
"Dagster Labs is currently providing a Dagster University course, but those offerings are somewhat high-level."
"I deducted two points because I faced some challenges working with the Git repository integration with Dagster Labs due to some security keys or some weird issue."
"There are many ways Dagster Labs can be improved. I believe the UI is very slow and it prevents loading state."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"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."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"Performance and latency could be enhanced. Additionally, having signaling stack support would be beneficial."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"The initial setup process was not simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
"The cost depends on the components required."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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."
