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…

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

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"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."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
 

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."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"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."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"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."
"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."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is not cheap."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"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 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 cost depends on the components required."
"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
