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.

A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users

The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is BusinessConnect. It's an older product but still quite useful, especially for transferring files from one location to another."

"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."

"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."

"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."

"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."

"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."

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

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

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"

Cons

"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."

"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."

"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

"The communication protocols could be improved."

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."

"Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support."

"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."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons

"The deployment was rather complicated."

"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."

"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"The product is not cheap."

"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."

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

"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."

"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 BusinessWorks is expensive."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pricing and cost advice

"We don't pay for a license."
