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.

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 the solution is that the performance is robust."

"The GUI and IDE features of this solution are easy to work with and to develop. We find application management easy using this solution. It is a stable product"

"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."

"It is easy to develop. It has a very wide range of features. The older versions are very stable, and there are no issues with the product."

"The stability of this solution is excellent."

"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development."

"The technology is really easy to learn."

"It's very stable and reliable."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus pros

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."

"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."

"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."

"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."

"The learning curve for this solution is very good."

"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."

"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."

Cons

"The initial setup process could be easier."

"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."

"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."

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

"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."

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

"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."

"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."

More TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Bus cons

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

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

"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."

"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"The price is on the higher side. For the same price, if I go to the previous version, I would have got a lot more capacity with similar kinds of features."

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

"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 cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

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

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

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

"It is a low-cost solution."
