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.

Streaming pipelines have become simpler and onboarding new data sources is now much faster

One of the best features Upsolver offers is the automatic schema evolution. Another good feature is SQL-based streaming transformations. Complex streaming transformations such as cleansing, deduplication, and enrichment were implemented using SQL and drastically reduced the need for custom Spark code. My experience with the SQL-based streaming transformations in Upsolver is that it had a significant positive impact on the overall data engineering workflow. By replacing custom Spark streaming jobs with declarative SQL logic, I simplified development, review, and deployment processes. Data transformations such as parsing, filtering, enrichment, and deduplication could be implemented and modified quickly without rebuilding or redeploying complex code-based pipelines. Upsolver has impacted my organization positively because it brings many benefits. The first one is faster onboarding of new data sources. Another one is more reliable streaming pipelines. Another one is near-real-time data availability, which is very important for us. It also reduced operational effort for data engineering teams. A specific outcome that highlights these benefits is that the time to onboard new sources is reduced from weeks to days. Custom Spark code reduction reached 50 to 40 percent. Pipeline failures are reduced by 70 to 80 percent. Data latency is improved from hours to minutes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."

"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."

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

"The solution is very scalable, it can handle a lot, and we have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."

"We use the solution to develop applications."

"It's a great software application for the middleware use cases to connect the front channels to the back ends in a secure and safer way."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."

"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."

"A specific outcome that highlights these benefits is that the time to onboard new sources is reduced from weeks to days, custom Spark code reduction reached 50 to 40 percent, pipeline failures are reduced by 70 to 80 percent, and data latency is improved from hours to minutes."

"It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."

Cons

"I don't think I would recommend this solution to others."

"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."

"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."

"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes."

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

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

"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."

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

More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons

"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."

"I think that Upsolver can be improved in orchestration because it is not a full orchestration tool."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

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

"The product is not cheap."

"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."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pricing and cost advice

"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."
