Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The metadata management of Informatica is great.""The way that the solution scans is very useful.""We can scan anything.""The product seems stable enough.""The solution scales well.""The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application.""The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."

"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time.""Good performance and reliability.""The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc.""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.""It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors.""Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version.""The most valuable feature is the integration."

Cons
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility.""They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities.""Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly.""Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms.""The solution is quite expensive.""The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""The scalability is tough.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."

"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time.""The cost has room for improvement.""The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations.""Cloud fitness is lacking""The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult.""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.""They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology.""A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
  • "I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is 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."
  • "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."
