TIBCO BusinessWorks is scalable and versatile, but users report mixed experiences with autoscaling and cost issues outside the cloud.
Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required.
Director Axtria - Ingenious Insights! at Axtria - Ingenious Insights
The autoscale process works well, allowing the system to start another node automatically if the first machine reaches 80% capacity.
Technology Transformation Specialist at SDG Group
It is not like AWS where I can add memory or more servers.

Room For Improvement

Matillion needs frequent API updates, improved UI, better documentation, more integrations, enhanced scalability, and real-time data capture.
TIBCO BusinessWorks faces usability issues, high costs, inefficiencies, and lacks advanced integration with AI, IoT, and cloud.
The main areas for improvement are AI features and scalability.
Director Axtria - Ingenious Insights! at Axtria - Ingenious Insights
Connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex.
Technology Transformation Specialist at SDG Group
AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six.

Performance and latency could be enhanced.

Technology Transformation Specialist at SDG Group
The pricing is moderate, neither expensive nor cheap.
Director Axtria - Ingenious Insights! at Axtria - Ingenious Insights
The current licensing cost for the product involves our resource sourcing team for negotiations.

Pricing is for an enterprise application, so the company pays for it with a company license.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
Because we have enterprise licenses, the pricing for TIBCO BusinessWorks is quite reasonable for us, so we do not see any issue.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia

Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.

Drag and drop capabilities simplify service development for easy building
It is drag and drop. Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end. It is easier to build services with BusinessWorks. When I have an architecture designed to plug in the service itself with BW, it makes things much easier. It is easy to integrate, especially when the architecture is well-designed.
