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.

Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better. TIBCO EBX should improve the UI, to allow users to easily mass change the data a bit more. We should not have to click the records one by one to change the data. The filter is in a form, and if one is to filter the data based on a form, you have to click every single attribute. It is difficult with the UI. However, one could be inspired by mobile phone UIs, how they are doing it because they are more efficient and this is missing in TIBCO EBX.

Regarding improvements or enhancements in TIBCO EBX, when it comes to 5.8 to 5.9, there was a really good feature added, which is the hyperlink. When you click on a table, you navigate to deeper tables. If there is a table with ten fields, those ten fields are taken from a second table and interrelated to a third table, you can keep clicking on each field and go deeper and deeper. To come each level above, there is a hyperlink created on the top. You just need to click on the hyperlink and keep navigating back, similar to certain websites. However, there were some drawbacks I noticed with the latest version 6, particularly in terms of performance, where in a few cases, the performance was impacted, necessitating work to get things sorted. Additionally, the logout from the application happened randomly or sometimes it wasn't logging out, which is a compliance issue since users expect to log out after a certain time. Version 6 introduced a strong filtration logic. All EBX versions have a separate section for filters that offer text search and advanced search options. In EBX 6, they enhanced the search feature deeply, including conjunctions and, or, else, allowing you to create your own logic for how you need the filter to work. They also introduced a top-level search feature, where you enter some text, and it searches the entire table. With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues. We dropped the plan to switch to EBX 6 due to other technical limitations on our side. Those were a few pending items we had raised to them, and they were working on resolving them. From a usage point of view, those were the main concerns, but they introduced a good idea about the side panel. The pagination concept was introduced to navigate among different domains, and in the left panel, you have search capabilities and pagination functionality.

Pricing

TIBCO EBX pricing is perceived as high by users, attributed to its comprehensive toolset for integration. It is compared to HP and Informatica costs, with some finding it cost-effective, especially due to straightforward licensing and pay-per-instance pricing. Additional fees for upgrades and support may apply, potentially annually. Companies often negotiate terms directly with TIBCO, and some appreciate the flexibility and operational adjustments EBX offers, though it requires substantial investment and sponsorship.

"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."

Deployment

TIBCO EBX's initial setup ranges from straightforward to complex. Some find customization challenging and time-consuming, often requiring a skilled admin. Setup duration varies, with deployment taking a day to several months based on installation scope. Challenges arise in transferring configurations between environments and a lack of documentation. Despite this, successful deployment is possible with experienced professionals, and periodic maintenance is required. The presence of pre-existing templates aids in easing complexity for some users.
