Room For Improvement

Qlik Replicate encounters challenges in usability, performance, and connectivity, needing improvements in error handling, support, and integration.
TIBCO BusinessWorks faces usability issues, high costs, inefficiencies, and lacks advanced integration with AI, IoT, and cloud.

Solution Architect at Predoole Analytics
AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers.

For Qlik Replicate, the setup cost includes the requirement of a server, which represents the hardware cost that must be covered.

Director of analytics at Analytics Aura
The current licensing cost for the product involves our resource sourcing team for negotiations.

Real-time data synchronization faces challenges with monitoring and affordability
The user-friendly interface in Qlik Replicate simplifies configuration and management of replication tasks because it is based on GUI, and users don't have to write any scripts. It is entirely drag and drop functionality. Even with zero knowledge of scripting, users can effectively use Qlik Replicate. The most valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is their change data capture feature. As soon as data is entered into the source, it gets captured at target locations. This occurs in near real-time, with replication happening within seconds at the target location. Additionally, whatever operations are performed at the source, whether adding data, deleting data, or updating anything, it gets replicated at target locations. It functions as data injection from source to target, ensuring all operations performed on the source system are replicated on target systems.

Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
Long-term integration has supported real-time data exchange and simplified adapter-based workflows
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 features currently in TIBCO BusinessWorks are good enough, but going forward, as we are doing a lot of AI-based integrations, I would like to see TIBCO come up with more prompt-driven configurations rather than people having to understand deep technology. AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers. More artificial intelligence functionality would help so people do not have to code.
