A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

User benefits from reliable support and seamless orchestration capabilities
The best features of TIBCO BusinessWorks compared to other products are that it is a roadmap product. The company has proper support. We have similar products in the market, including open source options, but they don't have any support beyond community feedback. TIBCO BusinessWorks is a standard product widely used by many companies. It is more stable, has future releases, and is compliant with new technologies. The significant advantage is that it is a standardized product with a proper, well-planned roadmap, support, and R&D. The positive impact I have experienced from installing TIBCO BusinessWorks is that it is reliable and has better support. It is easy to use and saves overall support costs. The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb. We have implemented it in a Kubernetes cluster with auto-scaling. If any systems go down, we have pods that automatically restart and spawn new pods which start taking the load. Earlier deployments used to be on VMs where infrastructure was limited, making scaling difficult. With Kubernetes, you can provision in advance and scale up or down based on requirements. The graphical user interface of TIBCO BusinessWorks is very easy to use. You can configure all components efficiently. Previously, configuration required opening XML files, which wasn't easy to understand without complete specifications knowledge. The graphical interface makes it easy to understand what needs to be configured and is straightforward to use.

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

Pros

"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
"I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb."
 

Cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"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 solution’s customer support should be improved."
"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."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is not cheap."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"The cost depends on the components required."
"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"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."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
