Boomi iPaaS vs TIBCO BusinessWorks comparison

"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."

"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."

"It is easy to learn and implement."

"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."

"I have found the solution to be scalable."

"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."

"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."

"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."

"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."

"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."

"I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions."

"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."

"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."

"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."

"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."

"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."

"There should be more scripting possibilities."

"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."

"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."

"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

"The solution’s customer support should be improved."

"There is room for improvement on the learning side."

"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."

"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."

"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."

"Approximately 20k annually."

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."

"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."

"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."

"It is an expensive platform."

"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."

"The cost depends on the components required."

"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."

"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."

"The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."

"Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."

"I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
