Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable

he ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs.

A java based platform, which is used for application integration and has a user-friendly GUI

I haven't encountered any drawbacks with TIBCO BusinessWorks so far. Despite being a new user for the past year, everything has been smooth, including development and deployment. Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."

"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."

"The data reader is the most valuable feature."

"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."

"SSIS is an easy way to do data integration from various data sources. It doesn't matter whether it's a database, flat files, XML, or Web API. It can talk to the and join them all together."

"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."

"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."

More SSIS pros

"I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions."

"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."

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

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

"Good performance and reliability."

"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."

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

"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."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."

"Integration and the user interface are areas with certain shortcomings that require some improvements."

"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."

"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."

"We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources."

"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."

"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."

"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."

More SSIS cons

"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."

"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."

"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."

"The communication protocols could be improved."

"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."

"Could be more user friendly in the development area."

"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."

"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."

"We have an enterprise license for this solution."

"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."

"The solution comes free of cost."

"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."

"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."

More SSIS pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"The cost depends on the components required."

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

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

"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"The payments made for service are the only addition to the standard licensing fees that we pay for the solution."

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