Enhanced data quality with machine learning support in diverse environments
We used Ataccama ONE to read data from the mainframe for a data quality perspective. There's a significant lack in that area with tools being able to interface with mainframe. MetLife has a diverse environment, including DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, legacy, and vSAN files. Being able to work in these various environments and put them to a single data quality tool was very appealing. Additionally, Ataccama supported AI and machine learning, which was one of the features I liked. Furthermore, we were able to interface bidirectionally with Collibra for data governance, catching data quality issues before propagating through the system.

Beneficial flexible data models, effective GUI workflows, and feature rich application
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."
"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."
"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."
"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."
"Customer service was excellent, and I would give it a ten out of ten."
"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."
"This solution allows the user to have complete control, and is 100% customizable."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO EBX are the workflow and interface."
"The data modeling is very good."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The tool's UI is good and easy to understand."
"There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool."
"The initial setup is easy and straightforward."
"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."
 

Cons

"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."
"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."
"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."
"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."
"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."
"Data movement is a pain."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"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."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The tool has to improve mapping and workflow. It should be made more robust."
"TIBCO EBX could improve by making the building of rules less complex and the repository is not robust."
"Currently, users can't use Plain SQL queries in TIBCO EBX."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."
"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
"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."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
