Featured Reviews

Radovan Bacovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Fire-and-forget solution with a great infrastructure
Generally speaking, support is a pain point. In the next release, I would love to see a change in support from the current chat to a more comprehensive portal. I would also like to see more exotic connectors. Stitch is based on a single framework, which means you can build your own tab. That is not a problem and I have done it in the past for some use cases with open-source tools and it was great, but it would still be nice to have a shortcut. With more exotic connectors, we could put in minimal effort into introducing new integrations, which would enable us to quickly gather more customers in the long run. You need at least one week to do the integration. What Stitch can do is open the framework for how we can build or contribute to new integrators. They could even make it open-source.
Moustafa Fares - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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 feature of Stitch for us is ease of use. This solution is fire-and-forget. All an organization has to do is set up the connection or integration and move on."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."
"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."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."
"It's a great software application for the middleware use cases to connect the front channels to the back ends in a secure and safer way."
 

Cons

"Generally speaking, support is a pain point. In the next release, I would love to see a change in support from the current chat to a more comprehensive portal."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."
