We performed a comparison between SAP Data Services and TIBCO BusinessWorks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"The API tool in this product is very valuable; it is very easy to onboard and use."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"The user interface is ok."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"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 ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The pricing of the solution should be improved."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
