Scalable and easy to maintain
One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification.

A robust product that needs to improve the functionality it offers related to API lifecycle management
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten. My company consists of around 7000 employees, and we use the solution as an integrated service in around 300 to 400 systems, both internally and externally, making it a huge number. Our company uses the solution every minute and every second, and we can't function without it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's most valuable feature is data transformation."
"One of the most valuable features is the scalability. Whenever it's required, we can add more servers and scale. We can actually use specific servers for specific stuff. Unlike in other solutions, now we can implement one server purely dedicated to core-banking-related API. This is very important when it comes to the PCI DSS certification."
"The ability to compliment out-of-the-box integration components with small custom code."
"The solution is very stable."
"The GUI and IDE features of this solution are easy to work with and to develop. We find application management easy using this solution. It is a stable product"
"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."
"It is easy to develop. It has a very wide range of features. The older versions are very stable, and there are no issues with the product."
"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The technology is really easy to learn."
 

Cons

"Fiorano ESB's logging feature and data availability need improvement."
"Fiorano ESB could be improved by becoming more user-friendly. Most of the pages and generated reports on API usage are already there, but they could be more user-friendly. There could be more selections added to generate reports. Overall, though, Fiorano suits all our needs and has good functionality."
"Error logging is not very user-friendly. It requires the error logging to be configured in many different places."
"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors."
"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"The licensing cost is a challenge for quite a few customers."
"Price-wise, I would say that the product is expensive."
"Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
"The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive."
"The price is on the higher side. For the same price, if I go to the previous version, I would have got a lot more capacity with similar kinds of features."
"When it comes to cost, TIBCO is much more competitive than a product like Pega."
