Aditi Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides an ease of access and an automated mapping feature
We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records. Above that, we need to look for alternative solutions. They could provide automated transformation or mapping features around 10 to 15 independent data objects. We could have a default mark or limit of free usage for standard objects. It will be helpful. Additionally, we can have more integrations with large data volumes as we need a lot of exercises to handle the files in case of complex sites.
Moustafa Fares - PeerSpot reviewer
Connects systems securely, simplifies data communication, and benefits from AI integration potential
I would like to see an AI project with BusinessWorks. I haven't worked with cloud architecture using BusinessWorks, so I would like to work with it as a cloud architect. I am still learning the documentation, so I don't have a complete experience with TIBCO. The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."
"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"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 high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
 

Cons

"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler. They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"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."
"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."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"The cost depends on the components required."
