TIBCO BusinessWorks vs TetraScience comparison

"The ingestion engines were pretty good."

"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."

"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."

"The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb."

"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."

"It is a very robust system."

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."

"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."

"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."

"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."

"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."

"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."

"Performance and latency could be enhanced. Additionally, having signaling stack support would be beneficial."

"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler. They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six."

"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."

"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."

"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."

"There is room for improvement on the learning side."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"

"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."

"The cost depends on the components required."

"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."

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"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."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
