A robust product that needs to improve the functionality it offers related to API lifecycle management

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten. My company consists of around 7000 employees, and we use the solution as an integrated service in around 300 to 400 systems, both internally and externally, making it a huge number. Our company uses the solution every minute and every second, and we can't function without it.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality

Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus pros

"It has improved our time management because development is quicker."

"WSO2 Enterprise Integrator may cost you about twenty-five thousand dollars annually per year compared to IBM Cloud Pak, which would cost you around one million dollars."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."

"The initial setup process could be easier."

"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."

"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."

"We'd like to see improvements in product support."

"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."

"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."

"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus cons

"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

"Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."

"The licensing cost is a challenge for quite a few customers."

"When it comes to cost, TIBCO is much more competitive than a product like Pega."

"The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive."

"Price-wise, I would say that the product is expensive."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
