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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."

"It is a very robust system."

"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."

"The tool's most valuable feature is BusinessConnect. It's an older product but still quite useful, especially for transferring files from one location to another."

"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."

"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."

"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."

"Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

"The cost has room for improvement."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."

"The communication protocols could be improved."

"Technical support is average. It's not the best."

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

"The creation of XSDs should be much simpler. They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six."

"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"TIBCO licensing is yearly and very costly for a company like ours."

"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."

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

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"The license is expensive, and I would rate it one out of ten."

"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 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."

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
