Improved workflow collaboration and data flexibility enhance team efficiency, but performance and logout issues require attention
Regarding improvements or enhancements in TIBCO EBX, when it comes to 5.8 to 5.9, there was a really good feature added, which is the hyperlink. When you click on a table, you navigate to deeper tables. If there is a table with ten fields, those ten fields are taken from a second table and interrelated to a third table, you can keep clicking on each field and go deeper and deeper. To come each level above, there is a hyperlink created on the top. You just need to click on the hyperlink and keep navigating back, similar to certain websites. However, there were some drawbacks I noticed with the latest version 6, particularly in terms of performance, where in a few cases, the performance was impacted, necessitating work to get things sorted. Additionally, the logout from the application happened randomly or sometimes it wasn't logging out, which is a compliance issue since users expect to log out after a certain time. Version 6 introduced a strong filtration logic. All EBX versions have a separate section for filters that offer text search and advanced search options. In EBX 6, they enhanced the search feature deeply, including conjunctions and, or, else, allowing you to create your own logic for how you need the filter to work. They also introduced a top-level search feature, where you enter some text, and it searches the entire table. With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues. We dropped the plan to switch to EBX 6 due to other technical limitations on our side. Those were a few pending items we had raised to them, and they were working on resolving them. From a usage point of view, those were the main concerns, but they introduced a good idea about the side panel. The pagination concept was introduced to navigate among different domains, and in the left panel, you have search capabilities and pagination functionality.

Modular design, product-based MDM and easy to setup
Stibo is a great product if you want to utilize it in product-based MDM. Customer-base, they are still growing, but product-base is fine because every single time you have to create hierarchies in the product and not care about all the other stuff. But the major thing is the hierarchy, at which particular type that product is and what that product does, how it looks, what is the catalog, what are the relationships with other stuff. So, from that note, Stibo is great. Around 20 to 25 people were there when I was on a particular project. I knew around 20 to 25 people who knew Stibo MDM and were part of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I find best about TIBCO EBX is its workflow modeling capabilities, which are very good for a master data management tool."
"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."
"The data modeling is very good."
"Nowadays there are lot of MDM tools available in market, but I would recommend Tibco MDM if good throughput is required with its integration layer."
"The features of TIBCO EBX are highly customizable, which is something I appreciated; we can customize every part of it, set where the labels appear, how they appear, and their order, and have all of these capabilities readily available."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The best feature is that TIBCO EBX is customizable, allowing any feature that is not available out of the box to be designed by writing Java code, providing custom logic creation essential for users who need specific functionalities and making it best for handling data quality features while allowing integration with systems such as SAP for effective data management and offering scalability to handle varying amounts of data by adjusting instances to improve data processing capabilities."
"It's powerful and it's stable."
"The match engine and the BPM solution are very good and are satisfying us right now."
"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."
"The solution is very feature-rich out of the box, it's highly customizable and configurable, and the way you can build workflows and business rules is very powerful."
"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."
"Data profiling allows us to recognize values from our upstream applications. It helps us place limits on the creation of new data domains to organize the ecosystem. The golden record, crucial for downstream applications, ensures data integrity and consistency."
 

Cons

"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"Version 6 moves to open source but is not very stable and not very usable."
"Marketing could be improved, as EBX wasn't well-presented in Turkey."
"We are currently using TIBCO EBX, however, we are not very happy with the performance of that tool."
"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI. Also, some options that are used regularly should be on the front page so that the user does not have to dig deep to find them."
"The analytics module can be improved. It is a self-service solution for creating new reports and submitting visions to bring more data to the CEO table."
"It took three or four times the amount of time we expected it to."
"In terms of stability, integration using APIs is not that stable. We are having some problems with its ability to integrate with the platform through APIs."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The customer service and support were a little adamant about giving workarounds rather than accepting that something was not working correctly."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
