Room For Improvement

Setup Cost

Rivery's pricing is competitive but can be steep for small businesses, with complex integrations increasing costs significantly.

I found myself asking my stakeholder to make it only five times a day because it was really expensive.

I found the pricing and licensing to be fair and competitive compared to other solutions I have seen.

Pricing is for an enterprise application, so the company pays for it with a company license.

The current licensing cost for the product involves our resource sourcing team for negotiations.

Valuable Features

Rivery excels in seamless integration, user-friendly design, and efficient data processing, appealing to various technical skill levels.
TIBCO BusinessWorks provides user-friendly, scalable solutions with robust integration and low-code environment for efficient connectivity and rapid deployment.

The main benefit Rivery brought to my organization was the time we were able to save on development.

Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work
The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

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.
