Sentiment score
6.6
TIBCO BusinessWorks is seen as scalable, but cost, licensing, infrastructure, and specific limitations impact its effectiveness.
The scalability depends primarily on the mapping itself, as the connection and file flow are in the cloud.
It is not like AWS where I can add memory or more servers.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite offers reliable stability, minimal issues, swift error handling, and near-perfect uptime with responsive support.
Sentiment score

TIBCO BusinessWorks is stable with minimal downtime, but newer versions face upgrade issues; version 5.14 is preferred.
SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a very stable product, and I haven't noticed any significant drawbacks.
I would rate the stability of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite as 9 out of 10.
It is stable, however, every now and then, it just ends.
 

Room For Improvement

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite needs interface simplification, enhanced monitoring, better documentation, and improved cloud integration and cost models.
TIBCO BusinessWorks needs cloud improvements, better integration, refined pricing, enhanced monitoring, and easier external tool integration for users.
This requires restarting the application to update the IP address, which is an issue from the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite vendor side.
Acquiring training documents on a public domain for SEEBURGER is challenging.
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.
Performance and latency could be enhanced.
 

Setup Cost

SEEBURGER's flexible licensing and comprehensive features offer competitive pricing, justifying its cost despite complexity for many organizations.
TIBCO BusinessWorks is costly, favoring larger enterprises, but price adjustments make it more accessible starting at €2000.
Regarding the pricing of SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite, I would rate it as 7 out of 10.
The current licensing cost for the product involves our resource sourcing team for negotiations.
Pricing is for an enterprise application, so the company pays for it with a company license.
 

Valuable Features

SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite offers platform independence, strong EDI automation, seamless SAP integration, scalability, and comprehensive global B2B integration.
TIBCO BusinessWorks is renowned for its user-friendly GUI, scalability, robust integration, and real-time processing capabilities.
It comes pre-loaded with solutions, meaning it is ready to use without requiring significant development.
There is no disturbance in the connections, and it is very clear to check the connection flow with applicable queues.
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.

User benefits from reliable support and seamless orchestration capabilities
The best features of TIBCO BusinessWorks compared to other products are that it is a roadmap product. The company has proper support. We have similar products in the market, including open source options, but they don't have any support beyond community feedback. TIBCO BusinessWorks is a standard product widely used by many companies. It is more stable, has future releases, and is compliant with new technologies. The significant advantage is that it is a standardized product with a proper, well-planned roadmap, support, and R&D. The positive impact I have experienced from installing TIBCO BusinessWorks is that it is reliable and has better support. It is easy to use and saves overall support costs. The real-time data exchange capability of TIBCO BusinessWorks has helped mission-critical systems because the uptime is superb. We have implemented it in a Kubernetes cluster with auto-scaling. If any systems go down, we have pods that automatically restart and spawn new pods which start taking the load. Earlier deployments used to be on VMs where infrastructure was limited, making scaling difficult. With Kubernetes, you can provision in advance and scale up or down based on requirements. The graphical user interface of TIBCO BusinessWorks is very easy to use. You can configure all components efficiently. Previously, configuration required opening XML files, which wasn't easy to understand without complete specifications knowledge. The graphical interface makes it easy to understand what needs to be configured and is straightforward to use.
