SAP Process Orchestration vs TIBCO BusinessWorks comparison

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."

"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."

"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."

"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."

"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."

"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"We use the solution to develop applications."

"It is a very robust system."

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

"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."

"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."

"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."

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

"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."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"It requires some maintenance."

"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

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

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

"The cost has room for improvement."

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

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

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

"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."

"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

"The cost depends on the components required."

"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."

"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."

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

"The product is not cheap."

"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."

"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."

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