Fully-featured, good performance, and easy to use and install
We are using it to back up the software across the network to a remote server It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do. It is also very easy to use and install. It is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good. Everything is fine. The user…

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

"Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions."
"It is fully featured, has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, is very easy to use and install, is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good."
"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"The tool's most valuable feature is BusinessConnect. It's an older product but still quite useful, especially for transferring files from one location to another."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"There hasn't been a single day that we had any problems because of the product stability."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"The most valuable features are the extensive capabilities of adapters and the capabilities in the development environment."
"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"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."
"The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable; it has got many issues, and TIBCO is taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"The cost has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost depends on the components required."
"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"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."
"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The product is not cheap."
