Featured Reviews

Mubahir Rashid - PeerSpot reviewer
Good data fabric and a straightforward setup with the ability to extend
I really like the data fabric. In my data fabric, we have a component related to cloud computing that is quite useful. The data fabric has improved over the previous version. The user interface is fine. There are good integrations possible with the product. The initial setup is very straightforward. It is a scalable product.
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"It is easy to code, especially because it is coded in Java."
"What I find best about TIBCO EBX is its workflow modeling capabilities, which are very good for a master data management tool."
"We decided to switch to TIBCO EBX because we can organize the data, and it helps manage this data for an accurate and consistent view of the physical business data."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are that is a complete tool and everything can be done inside, including data governance. We are able to model everything according to the needs of the company. If the company needs five people to agree to a change in data, they can do it with TIBCO EBX. They can model it with any particular rules. Additionally, there is dynamic data modeling, simple workflows using the GUI that comes from the server."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"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

"I do not have notes for improvement."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"The documentation needs improvement."
"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."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"TIBCO EBX has performance issues, particularly with speed. Replicating data can take several hours even with normal median data."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has one single license, and everything is included in it."
"The licensing fees vary depending on the products that you purchase."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"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."
"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."
