Provides efficient technical support services, but it could be more affordable
We use the platform for centralizing and streamlining the management of an organization's master data With MDG, we have established an efficient process for easily managing country-specific data. At an enterprise level, it has proven valuable in imposing control over master data changes across…
Davide Conti - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
