Long-term integration has supported real-time data exchange and simplified adapter-based workflows
The challenges I have faced with TIBCO BusinessWorks mostly relate to financial applications that do not come with those adapters, so that requires custom coding. The features currently in TIBCO BusinessWorks are good enough, but going forward, as we are doing a lot of AI-based integrations, I would like to see TIBCO come up with more prompt-driven configurations rather than people having to understand deep technology. AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers. More artificial intelligence functionality would help so people do not have to code.

A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The solution is very scalable, it can handle a lot, and we have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"TIBCO 6 is richer in terms of integration technology and has more modern architecture."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool, we can operate everything and scale up and down the instances, and it is also very user-friendly with a good overall experience."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"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."
"Pricing is not one of its strengths. Using Tibco BusinessWorks implies adopting a non-trivial set of products (Hawk, Rendez-vous, EMS in most cases), and previous cost models enabled scalability on installation and deployment."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"The challenges I have faced with TIBCO BusinessWorks mostly relate to financial applications that do not come with those adapters, so that requires custom coding."
"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"The initial setup process was not simple."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not cheap."
"The cost depends on the components required."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."
"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."
