TIBCO EBX Reviews

I am using TIBCO EBX to build a business and administrator EBX tool.

The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface.

This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable. 

Plus, this gives us a multi-domain tool. Meaning that we can manage both our own, and our customers product, and create interlinks between them, letting us analyze the data more easily.

We would like to see the community an documentation for this solution be developed. At present there is very little tutorial documentation available, and limited community support for issues with the product.

We would also like to see support added for the mobile MDM, so that the solution can be integrated with handheld and IOS devices.

We are using TIBCO EBX for the data governance of our accounting system.

TIBCO EBX has centralized several master data tables, which were very often in private Excel sheets of accountants. With EBX it was possible to put a data governance process for the core accounting application, which was otherwise not possible.

TIBCO EBX comes with the capability to capture business metadata. 

The tool's UI is good and easy to understand. 

We are trying to achieve is to have customer vendors fill in various master data. It will be used across the enterprise and will be used for sourcing from a different data sources. Currently, we are working through this process and providing master requests.

The match and merge features are very good. They help for, for example, validating visas.

We also use a lot of add-ons.

The data quality is very good. 

The solution is stable.

You can customize the product.

It can scale if you need it to.

We have multiple sets of data coming in from various upstream systems, SAP being one of the main and most dominant systems. We have non-SAP as well, such as Microsoft systems, Oracle Database, and some other legacy databases. We need an MDM tool where we can merge the data and get the main records out of it after merging and matching everything.

The tool has merge and match features and allows us to get the golden record out of it as a single source of truth and then use it as a master of our data, as a Master Data Management tool. We also stored the Data Governance Rules using the information Governance Add On.

We have used EBX to collate data from multiple source systems, a majority of them are SAP systems to create and update the Master Data and Reference Data. Also to to perform the Match and Cleanse activities and then store the set of Golden Records to feed the various downstream BI and ML systems.

We're using the solution for reference data, master data management. To basically implement data governance around the reference data.

One of the big initiatives is to capture all the information that the branch operations team is looking to capture. Or operational information or reference data. We're a credit union. We're like a bank. It's all about managing the data of the branches, and the ATMs, and some of the business partners that are at the branches.

There used to be a lot of handholding by ISD. This kind of solution gives control to either ISD or business units to do what they need to do. We don't have to play the game of telephone or do any handoff. We don't have to specify "Here's what I want" and then get it translated unnecessarily by the ISD people that don't understand the business.

That's why the business is entering the information. They're verifying the information for files or tables or whatever that aren't really controlled by that department. Then the ISD can kind of step in as custodians and handle some of that for them. Typical stuff like stuff that's sourced externally - like an ISO country table.

They don't want the department saying that there is such and such a country, and adding to the country table. We basically want to pull it from the internet, from the ISO International Standards Organization, and say, "These are the official, full list of countries and country subdivisions," which are states and provinces and such.

I use TIBCO EBX as an MDM tool in my company.

REST API interfaces can be considered to be the best feature of TIBCO EBX. The tool offers a good user interface.
