Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Denodo offers scalable architecture with successful integration and deployment, overcoming financial and query delegation challenges to ensure performance.
Sentiment score
6.9
TIBCO BusinessWorks is scalable, handling large data, but costs and licensing can limit expansion, especially on-premise.
Its complexity in configuring and the requirement to install different connectors for different sources affects its scalability.
While the solution scales well on a single machine, I have doubts about its scalability when deployed as part of a Java component cluster.
It is not like AWS where I can add memory or more servers.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Denodo is stable, handles stress well, but faces occasional challenges with complex queries and external dependencies.
Sentiment score
7.6
TIBCO BusinessWorks is stable but faces challenges post version 5.14; users report memory spikes and require hotfixes for issues.
I would rate it nine out of ten because it is very reliable, always performing as expected.
If JVM does not function properly, it may cause Denodo to fail to connect to different sources.
It is stable, however, every now and then, it just ends.
 

Room For Improvement

Denodo requires improvements in data catalog, integration, modernization, connectivity, security, performance, visualization, documentation, and user-friendliness.
TIBCO BusinessWorks needs stability, cloud adoption, user-friendliness enhancements, better pricing, and improved support for non-technical users and monitoring.
Ensuring data caching is up to date is critical.
Denodo needs better communication on how the product can be deployed for specific solutions.
The system has dependencies on other environments, like JVM, which can affect its performance.
The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.
They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six.
 

Setup Cost

Denodo's pricing is expensive but fair for enterprises, with various editions and licensing often based on CPU or core.
TIBCO BusinessWorks is costly, especially for medium-sized companies, with discounts mainly benefiting large organizations through Enterprise License Agreements.
Denodo's pricing is not affordable for small companies and is more suitable for medium to large enterprises.
Denodo is considered pricey, limiting its use to large enterprises or government organizations that can afford its comprehensive setup.
Pricing is for an enterprise application, so the company pays for it with a company license.
 

Valuable Features

Denodo offers efficient data virtualization with robust integration, optimized queries, and secure access, enhancing analytics and data management.
TIBCO BusinessWorks offers user-friendly, robust performance and scalable integration with efficient service creation and extensive legacy and cloud support.
Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy.
The most valuable feature of Denodo is its uniformity of self-site data access types, which allows it to connect to almost any storage technology and feed it transparently.
Denodo is also effective for developing solutions quickly, facilitating user reports, and offering good data governance.
When I have an architecture designed to plug in the service itself with BW, it makes things much easier.
It's a great software application for the middleware use cases to connect the front channels to the back ends in a secure and safer way.

The data catalog feature helps define data structures without storing data
The data catalog feature is valuable as it helps define data structures without storing data. Denodo's ability to connect to multiple data sources and perform extract-transform-load (ETL) operations on the fly is noteworthy. It supports API usage to call and present data in JSON or Tableau format without visualization capabilities.
Moustafa Fares - PeerSpot reviewer
Connects systems securely, simplifies data communication, and benefits from AI integration potential
I would like to see an AI project with BusinessWorks. I haven't worked with cloud architecture using BusinessWorks, so I would like to work with it as a cloud architect. I am still learning the documentation, so I don't have a complete experience with TIBCO. The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.
