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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a product that integrates out of the box with Oracle EBS and Hyperion the product has proved to be a great step forward in allowing us to manage reference data across multiple platforms and something that we were able to deploy quite easily."
"Using DRG within Oracle Data Relationship Management has been beneficial for our organization."
"Implementing the workflow portion of DRM which is called Data Relationship Governance (DRG) the client cut that time down to an hour."
"DRM customer service is top notch since it is a small set of people that use it."
"With this application, if data was entered manually with a system whose data we migrated onto the DRM system, we can automate 90% of that manual entry."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to use JavaScript in formulas."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"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."
"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."
"Great integration tool for complex integration environment - large range of adapters and connection software."
"EBX is a multi-domain product, which makes it easy to switch between domains like customer, agent, or vendor."
"The data modeling is very good."
 

Cons

"Improvements are needed in the fees and the licensing part. The tool's price can be made lower."
"If you hard-code values into the properties, you'll get customer complaints that DRM is "running slow."
"Better external connections and API integrations are needed."
"The ROI will be a few years. DRM/DRG is really expensive."
"When we moved to the cloud, it was extremely complicated."
"Integrating with non-Oracle products needs improvement, it only provides a text output file."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"The performance could be better; we're not 100% happy with it at this time."
"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."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"It's a pretty steep learning curve, I find, and not really fluid and flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is very, very high."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"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."
"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."
