Nitesh Agrawal - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration and security have improved, but search functionality and clarity of future direction need enhancement
The search function in SAP Analytics Hub is not effective. When speaking about integration with various analytic sources, for example, if I wanted to send the data from SAP BW or B4HANA to a data lake, we used to earlier use the Open Data Hub or Analytics Hub. Nowadays, we are using the Data Sphere integrators available with Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud. The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."
"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"As a partner, I can mention something positive about SAP Analytics Hub: its products are tightly integrated, so the business context of data is retained in the analytics solution, and that's the main advantage."
"Good performance and reliability."
"It's a great software application for the middleware use cases to connect the front channels to the back ends in a secure and safer way."
"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
 

Cons

"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"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."
"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."
"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is expensive."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The cost depends on the components required."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"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 payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"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."
"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."
