We performed a comparison between TIBCO BusinessWorks and Tungsten RPA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Good performance and reliability."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"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."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."
"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."
"The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept. It's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated."
"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."
"The solution is scalable."
"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"The product saves time and resources."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"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."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"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."
"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."
"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The product should improve desktop automation, which is hard to configure. It needs to have custom connectors. It is the only advantage that Microsoft Power Platform has over Kofax RPA. It has more than 800 custom connectors."
"The solution needs to be scalable."
"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
"The technical support must be improved."
"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."
