Subhajit Bhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Exceptional drag-and-drop integration module
It would be great to have more assistance and credit services for additional features. For instance, virtual class initials are available but not for backend processing moves. Making that more visible, like other Azure products, would be helpful. Moreover, the documentation is good, but it could be improved. It is changing every day, and I sometimes find that it's not updated enough or some code levels are not included.
Choon Hwa Khoh - PeerSpot reviewer
A java based platform, which is used for application integration and has a user-friendly GUI
I haven't encountered any drawbacks with TIBCO BusinessWorks so far. Despite being a new user for the past year, everything has been smooth, including development and deployment. Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."
"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 Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"Good performance and reliability."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"Customer support is very efficient."
 

Cons

"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"The solution’s customer support should be improved."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"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."
"Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive platform."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"The product is not cheap."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
"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 license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"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."
"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."
