We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product.""The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature.""Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria.""It is a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform.""The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues.""XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services.""We use the solution to develop applications.""The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market.""It is user friendly, it's not complex.""The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool.""It is a very robust system."

Cons
"The initial setup is not easy.""The pricing can be improved.""Its queuing and messaging features need improvement.""Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."

More IBM Cloud Pak for Integration Cons →

"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.""There is room for improvement on the learning side.""The cost of the solution has room for improvement.""The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult.""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.""The cost has room for improvement.""I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform.""TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution's pricing model is very flexible."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • More IBM Cloud Pak for Integration 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."
