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.

Improved workflow collaboration and data flexibility enhance team efficiency, but performance and logout issues require attention
Regarding improvements or enhancements in TIBCO EBX, when it comes to 5.8 to 5.9, there was a really good feature added, which is the hyperlink. When you click on a table, you navigate to deeper tables. If there is a table with ten fields, those ten fields are taken from a second table and interrelated to a third table, you can keep clicking on each field and go deeper and deeper. To come each level above, there is a hyperlink created on the top. You just need to click on the hyperlink and keep navigating back, similar to certain websites. However, there were some drawbacks I noticed with the latest version 6, particularly in terms of performance, where in a few cases, the performance was impacted, necessitating work to get things sorted. Additionally, the logout from the application happened randomly or sometimes it wasn't logging out, which is a compliance issue since users expect to log out after a certain time. Version 6 introduced a strong filtration logic. All EBX versions have a separate section for filters that offer text search and advanced search options. In EBX 6, they enhanced the search feature deeply, including conjunctions and, or, else, allowing you to create your own logic for how you need the filter to work. They also introduced a top-level search feature, where you enter some text, and it searches the entire table. 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. We dropped the plan to switch to EBX 6 due to other technical limitations on our side. Those were a few pending items we had raised to them, and they were working on resolving them. From a usage point of view, those were the main concerns, but they introduced a good idea about the side panel. The pagination concept was introduced to navigate among different domains, and in the left panel, you have search capabilities and pagination functionality.
