Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 feature is the integration.""The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us.""The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool.""I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most.""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. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently.""The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."

"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes.""WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time.""The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code.""The tool supports multiple target update methods.""This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW.""RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation.""WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing.""Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."

Cons
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult.""The initial setup is not easy.""Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time.""There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations.""Technical support is average. It's not the best.""The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations.""Cloud fitness is lacking""The cost has room for improvement."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks Cons →

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box.""It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully.""No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded .""The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it.""Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved.""Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment.""The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application.""Technical support isn't the best."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "Licensing scheme is too rigid"
  • "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."
  • "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 give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."

  • "Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
  • "ROI is at least 10 times."
  • "Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
  • "Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
