Hybrid data sync has minimized downtime and supports large cloud migrations efficiently
NetApp Cloud Sync is a very good product. When it comes to improvement, more detailed reporting and analytics can be available with richer dashboards for transfer performance, bandwidth usage, failed files, and historic trends. Smart handling of errors, such as clearer explanations for failed syncs and more actionable troubleshoot guidance, is needed as well. More granular scheduling and policy controls such as advanced filtering, bandwidth throttling by time of day, and finer control over sync behavior are also areas for improvement. Expanding cloud and storage integration would make it easier to connect to additional storage platforms and emerging cloud services. Lower source storage usage for the data broker and improved performance when synchronizing very large file systems containing millions of small files would be beneficial. Lastly, more automation options such as richer API and webhooks for tighter integration with infrastructure as code or DevOps workflows are also needed.

Long-term integration has supported real-time data exchange and simplified adapter-based workflows
The challenges I have faced with TIBCO BusinessWorks mostly relate to financial applications that do not come with those adapters, so that requires custom coding. The features currently in TIBCO BusinessWorks are good enough, but going forward, as we are doing a lot of AI-based integrations, I would like to see TIBCO come up with more prompt-driven configurations rather than people having to understand deep technology. AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers. More artificial intelligence functionality would help so people do not have to code.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"NetApp Cloud Sync has impacted my organization positively by significantly reducing downtime."
"Personally, the best features in NetApp Cloud Sync are its simplicity and trustworthiness."
"The customer support for NetApp Cloud Sync is very good; support is provided immediately, and issues are resolved very quickly."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"It's a great software application for the middleware use cases to connect the front channels to the back ends in a secure and safer way."
 

Cons

"When it comes to improvement, more detailed reporting and analytics can be available with richer dashboards for transfer performance, bandwidth usage, failed files, and historic trends."
"A big drawback on the NetApp side is that because we started encountering remote home workers in our infrastructure, we started to encounter multiple incidents or requests for improvement related to latency."
"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 creation of XSDs should be much simpler."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"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."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
