Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The core is very stable.""OpenESB pushes the organization to clearly define service boundaries and interfaces. So it motives the business and the development teams to clearly define their business services and processes they want to implement. OpenESB supports fine and coarse-grain granularity for the services and supports top-down and bottom-up approaches for the services, processes definition, and composition.""The process-oriented solution allows you to define choreography and orchestration.""One of the most valuable features is being able to implement business processes while keeping track of the design from BPMN to a BPEL Implementation."

"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development.""The solution is very stable.""The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based.""It's very stable and reliable.""TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use.""The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI.""The product’s most valuable feature is stability.""The stability of this solution is excellent."

Cons
"Regarding its management, a web console being able to synchronize distributed instances would be great.""Cloud deployment is weak and needs to be improved.""The documentation of the product must be improved. It could be tricky to find the right documentation on a topic since the documentation is spread in many places. I advise the new joiner to contact the community to get entry points and additional documentation. Tutorial and Video must be present to take up the product.""The documentation needs to be better."

More OpenESB Cons →

"The initial setup process could be easier.""We'd like to see improvements in product support.""The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced.""In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager.""I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors.""Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable.""Our version does not have cloud capabilities.""The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There are two versions. The first is the community version, which is free and contains the last part of the feature, but if you want to get the Enterprise version, you'll have to pay €60,000 which covers support and two instances on production."
  • "The Community Edition is a full product you can use in production, it does not have limitations like other alternatives."
  • "The cost for the prediction instrument is high because it is charged per instances based on prediction, but the rest of the solution is free."
  • More OpenESB Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "When it comes to cost, TIBCO is much more competitive than a product like Pega."
  • "The licensing cost is a challenge for quite a few customers."
  • "The price is on the higher side. For the same price, if I go to the previous version, I would have got a lot more capacity with similar kinds of features."
  • "Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
  • "The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive."
  • "Price-wise, I would say that the product is expensive."
