Palantir Gotham vs TIBCO BusinessWorks comparison

"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."

"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks' real-time data exchange capability has benefited our customers greatly; we conduct a lot of messaging with Superstream and external partners, so it works well for us."

"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."

"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."

"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."

"We use the solution to develop applications."

"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."

"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."

"The cost has room for improvement."

"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."

"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler. They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six."

"Technical support is average. It's not the best."

"Performance and latency could be enhanced. Additionally, having signaling stack support would be beneficial."

"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."

"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."

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"

"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."

"The cost depends on the components required."

"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."

"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."

"The product is not cheap."
