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

"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."

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

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is performance."

"You can get data from any data source with SSIS and dump it to any outside source. It is helpful. Getting, extracting, converting, and dumping data doesn't require much effort because we can do everything in the user interface. You drag and drop, then give the required input. It's intuitive."

"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."

"It has good data integration and good processes."

More SSIS pros

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

"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."

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

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

"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."

"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."

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

"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

Cons

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

"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."

"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."

"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."

"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."

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

"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."

"SSIS is not stable."

More SSIS cons

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

"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 technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."

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

"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."

"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."

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

"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

"The solution comes free of cost."

"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

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

"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."

"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."

More SSIS pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"

"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."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

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

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

"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."
