TIBCO BusinessWorks vs Upsolver comparison

"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."

"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."

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

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

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."

"It is user friendly, it's not complex."

"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."

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

"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."

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

"Technical support is average. It's not the best."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."

"The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods."

"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."

"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."

"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."

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

"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."

"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."

"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."

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

"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one 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."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."

"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."

"The product is not cheap."

"The cost depends on the components required."

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