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."

More JumpMind SymmetricDS Pros →

"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time.""I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most.""Good performance and reliability.""One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work.""The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment.""The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently.""We use the solution to develop applications.""The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."

Cons
"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

More JumpMind SymmetricDS Cons →

"Cloud fitness is lacking""The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations.""The initial setup is not easy.""The communication protocols could be improved.""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.""The cost has room for improvement.""There is room for improvement on the learning side.""The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."

    Overview

    JumpMind SymmetricDS is a powerful data replication software that provides synchronization software solutions for both databases and filesystems. This software is platform-independent and web-enabled as well as database agnostic. JumpMind SymmetricDS creates prompt bi-directional data replication while scaling to a large amount of nodes and working in close to real time across both WAN and LAN networks. This allows companies to integrate data using the feature for continuous change data capture.

    This data replication software allows companies with limited network bandwidth or bad connectivity to benefit from excellent cloud conditions. The greatest benefit of JumpMind SymmetricDS is its vast integration across databases, streaming platforms, and data warehouses. Some of the relational databases where this data replication software can be used include Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sybase, Informix, Ingres, Tiber, and VoltDB. NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Apache Cassandra, and Azure Cosmos are also compatible with the JumpMind SymmetricDS data replication software. The data warehouses that are compatible with this software include Teradata, SAP HANA, Azure-SQL server by Microsoft, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Pivotal Greenplum, and Snowflake data warehouse. Providing coverage of so many databases and warehouses allows broad outreach of the JumpMind SymmetricDS across many different companies and users.
