Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing

For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Connects systems securely, simplifies data communication, and benefits from AI integration potential

I would like to see an AI project with BusinessWorks. I haven't worked with cloud architecture using BusinessWorks, so I would like to work with it as a cloud architect. I am still learning the documentation, so I don't have a complete experience with TIBCO. The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.

Cons

"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."

"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."

"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

"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."

"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

"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 could be improved with cloud support."
