User benefits from reliable support and seamless orchestration capabilities

The best features of TIBCO BusinessWorks compared to other products are that it is a roadmap product. The company has proper support. We have similar products in the market, including open source options, but they don't have any support beyond community feedback. TIBCO BusinessWorks is a standard product widely used by many companies. It is more stable, has future releases, and is compliant with new technologies. The significant advantage is that it is a standardized product with a proper, well-planned roadmap, support, and R&D. The positive impact I have experienced from installing TIBCO BusinessWorks is that it is reliable and has better support. It is easy to use and saves overall support costs. The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb. We have implemented it in a Kubernetes cluster with auto-scaling. If any systems go down, we have pods that automatically restart and spawn new pods which start taking the load. Earlier deployments used to be on VMs where infrastructure was limited, making scaling difficult. With Kubernetes, you can provision in advance and scale up or down based on requirements. The graphical user interface of TIBCO BusinessWorks is very easy to use. You can configure all components efficiently. Previously, configuration required opening XML files, which wasn't easy to understand without complete specifications knowledge. The graphical interface makes it easy to understand what needs to be configured and is straightforward to use.

Cons

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

"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."

"Could be more user friendly in the development area."

"Cloud fitness is lacking"

"There is room for improvement on the learning side."

"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"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

Information not available

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"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."

"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."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."

"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."

"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."

"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."
