Palantir Gotham vs TIBCO BusinessWorks comparison

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

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

"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."

"It is very valuable for my work, helping me communicate with other branches, parse data, and change data formats to respond to the front channels with the correct format."

"It is user friendly, it's not complex."

"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."

"The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb."

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

"I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions."

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

"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 cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

"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."

"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 container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."

"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 communication protocols could be improved."

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."

"The product is not cheap."

"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."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"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."

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