The quality is good, but the price is on the higher side. The previous version and their pricing models were much more cost-effective. But maybe from their point of view, they have made changes. They have brought in containers and all the latest DevOps stuff, which is not very pocket friendly for their consumers. For the same price, if I go for the previous version, I would have got a lot more capacity with similar features, but now they have changed their whole design.

I'm not sure of the exact licensing costs. We do have an enterprise license, however, we do occasionally need to pay for some additional features.
The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive. It's just too costly.
Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs.
