A stable solution that is useful for integration purposes and requires an easy initial setup
Since it is an integration platform, we use it for integration purposes in our company Previously, we had a distribution integration system with lots of platforms. We wanted to centralize everything so that we could keep everything on a single platform since it makes it easier to manage the…

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

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"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."
"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."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"
"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."
"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"We don't pay for a license."
