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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to develop applications."
"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."
"Good performance and reliability."
"Performance and the stability are both good features."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation; we have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST, so we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The product is not cheap."
"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."
