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.
Snehasish Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows for data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies
The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies. Upsolver does this in a quick time, unlike traditional processes which are time-consuming. Additionally, it offers scalability for large volumes of data, with performance and ease of cloud-native integration.

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 features are the stability and the time to market."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"It is a very robust system."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."
"It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."
"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."
 

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."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"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."
"Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future."
"There is room for improvement in query tuning."
"On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
"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."
"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."
"The product is not cheap."
"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."
