Featured Reviews

Syed-Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick MVP development facilitated by low-code data management
Semarchy xDM's unique selling point is its quick turnover time, allowing for the rapid development of a proof of concept or minimum viable product. Its low-code approach, essentially a wrapper for SQL, enables easy and quick development. The core features include validation business rules, deduplication, merging, and consolidation from multiple sources.
Chetan Thote - PeerSpot reviewer
A good master data management solution that gives complete functionality control to the user, but lacks in community support resources
We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product. We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

"Their documentation is excellent."
"The data modeling is very good."
"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."
"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"It is easy to code, especially because it is coded in Java."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"The benefits I have seen from using TIBCO EBX are quite significant."
"TIBCO EBX saves a lot of time and gives considerable flexibility to business users who might not be completely technical but can work on it in specific areas."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the developer experience, particularly for those who are SQL proficient, as having more direct access would be beneficial."
"They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality."
"There is room for improvement in terms of local support."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."
"With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"We observe performance issues lately. If we perform any bulk update or use the bulk functionality to update the data, during that time, the index rebuild happens in the back end. The operations team faces issues, including downtime or slowness, and we monitor it, performing any required actions such as restarting applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
