I use the solution in my company for file transfer, data extraction, and ETL.
Improvements are required in the tool licensing area as it is a bit expensive. The tool's user interface needs improvement. If you don't know the tool as a beginner, it is very hard for you to design the workflow. The interface is actually quite confusing. There are a lot of places we need to configure here and there since there are multiple locations involved.
The features or functions available are good enough for me to implement for my business activities. The tool can include topics like AI.
I encountered an issue with the tool during the deployment into production. The server itself experienced a slowness-related issue caused by the configuration, where the resources were not enough for TIBCO, not because of the physical server. I raised a ticket with the support team and got some advice from them. I then went to study the server configuration, and finally, I found out that there will be a need to increase the threats in order for the server to process the multiple parallel incoming requests.
I have been using TIBCO Business Studio for a year and a half. I am an end-user of the tool.
It is a very stable solution. I didn't see any issues or breakdowns. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
The solution's technical support is very responsive. Even if sometimes I ask for the sample code, the technical support also can provide me with a sample code or sample workflow to start. The team is very helpful. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.
The tool was purchased as a part of the company policy, and the architects chose it as well. As application developers, we just use it.
The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.
I was involved with the product's deployment phase.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in five to ten minutes, so you just need to let it run until it is finished.
My company did not do any financial estimations.
We use multiple products, such as TIBCO Business Studio, TIBCO BW, and TIBCO EMS, so a large amount of money was paid for the license. For my company, the tool costs about 2,0,000 Euros for three years. TIBCO BW is to be paid for on a yearly basis, while TIBCO EMS is on a three-year basis, so I didn't go into the details of the contracts. If one is bad and ten is good, I rate the price as one out of ten.
There are features of the tool that I use in my business for managing complex workflows. I use TIBCO LogLogic. In the workflow, normally, I use one of the features I use, TIBCO's Java Message Service (JMS) publisher and Java Message Service (JMS) subscribers in TIBCO Business Studio. I use JDBC, and one of the other components I use is Java.
For the integration part, I think that there should be no big issue because before we implement the TIBCO Business Studio, we actually study all the data flow from the starting until the end. For the integration part, I would say it is quite smooth as per what we expected.
TIBCO itself is a middleware for data transferring, transformations, and moving data here and there, so it can have some features that allow it to perform running machine learning. From the data flow itself, it can influence some results.
I don't recommend the tool to others because of its cost issues.
If I only consider the tool for its cost, I would rate the product a one or two out of ten.
Considering the tool's flexibility, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
