We performed a comparison between SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite and TIBCO BusinessWorks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, MuleSoft, IBM and others in Business-to-Business Middleware."The solution helps us automate processes, more on the insurance side. Where they used to have to babysit monthly files, because of size, they don't have to do that with SEEBURGER BIS. They just run the monthly process. Files get collected, translated, and sent to the proper systems, so the babysitting is gone."
"We can use it to script and monitor processes."
"I like that the tool has all the adapters — all the possible protocols that are in the industry. You pay for those adapters but at least it's all in one package. You don't have to get another tool or application to support another partner."
"One of the things that SEEBURGER always touts is their ability to do "any to any" formatting... it doesn't matter if you want to take a CSV file or an XML file or a flat file or a PDF file or a structure EDI file; you can transform it from one format to another - any to any or even to the same format - which is a really nice feature."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"It is a JavaScript or a Java-based system within their mapping tool. You can actually write a lot of code in there. We can perform a lot of the translations even within our mapping, whereas we used to have to do custom programming on our back-end systems to fully integrate."
"We rarely get hanged processes."
"Having the SEEBURGER consulting team perform the installation alleviates a lot of headaches and ensures a stable system."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"Good performance and reliability."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"They made improvements to the email error alerts that go out, for the EDI technical. Those typically go straight out to the partners. Those messages are significantly clearer and easy to read. The same messages in the front end are not nearly as clear. It's supposed to be the same error, but the message that goes out for EDI is really easy for anybody to read and understand, but you have to be really solution-savvy to understand the message in the system itself."
"Difficult in handling large amounts of data, like when the file has more than 100MB in size."
"It's rather difficult to understand, from the application, what's broken and why it doesn't work. We typically need to get support from them directly, and it's usually in a consulting role, to fix issues."
"There are a lot of service packs during the year. I know that part is the process for updating features, but sometimes it's difficult to update service packs every month."
"A true debugger that allows you to step through the process would be a good improvement. Right now, we are limited to reading the log file generated by the test screen in Mapping Designer."
"The BIS Front End needs a little bit of refreshing, especially when it comes to setting up new trading partners and trading partner agreements or transactions. It can be a bit clumsy to copy and rename and then go in and modify."
"The initial setup is not the straightforward. It took couple of months for us to set up."
"We don't have much access to the logs or what's happening. So we have to log a ticket with SEEBURGER. We only get a message that something has failed... we have to open a ticket with SEEBURGER for them to tell us exactly what the issue is... I would like us to be able to be more self-sufficient."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"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."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
