ROI

Sentiment score
6.3
Stitch improves efficiency with cost-effective integrations, reduced bespoke code management, and faster time-to-market, saving time and resources.
Sentiment score
6.3
TIBCO BusinessWorks is valued for its flexibility, reliability, and quick ROI, making it a leading business integration solution.
That cut down our pipeline maintenance and integration overhead by eighty to ninety percent, freeing us up to focus entirely on actual data analysis and building user-facing features.
Student at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
We've got a project at the moment that we estimated the integration was going to be around $200,000 to $300,000, and we've been able to achieve the integration for less than a tenth of that, doing it in-house using Stitch.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If they are providing automation, then definitely it will be beneficial for any of the business or any of the domains you are working on.
Senior Manager at pibythree
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
3.8
Stitch's service feedback varies, with some praising support and others dissatisfied, while some users report no need for support.
Sentiment score
6.4
TIBCO BusinessWorks customer support receives mixed reviews, praised by some for efficiency but criticized by others for inconsistency.
The best skill set they've got is that they know when the issue is outside of their knowledge, and they escalate really quickly so that we get to the right people when we need them.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
The technical support from TIBCO BusinessWorks is very good.
E2E Delivery Expert - Ignite Delivery & Technical Enablement at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
Customer service is very helpful.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
I rate TIBCO technical support as fantastic on a scale of one to ten.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.5
Stitch offers strong scalability and resource management but struggles with compatibility and third-party connections in legacy versions.
Sentiment score
6.4
TIBCO BusinessWorks is scalable and versatile, but users report mixed experiences with autoscaling and cost issues outside the cloud.
I would advise that you should not use Stitch if you are going to build a big number of screens or a heavy UI application with complex designs because it is not ready for that kind of work.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
We just spin up a new server and add it into a cluster, and then it pretty much manages the load balancing across all the servers in the cluster.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using the cloud version, then definitely it is scalable for sure.
Senior Manager at pibythree
It is not like AWS where I can add memory or more servers.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Stitch demonstrates stability with rare disruptions, manageable through clustering; user feedback points to reliable performance without significant issues.
Sentiment score
7.4
TIBCO BusinessWorks is stable and reliable, though version 6 faces migration challenges and SAP Adapter issues, averaging high ratings.
Stitch is really stable.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
I have not run into any major platform downtime or critical bugs that disrupted our data flow.
Student at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
I didn't notice any explicit crashes or bugs with Stitch, as it is actually stable.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
TIBCO BusinessWorks is quite stable and scales very well, so we are happy.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
It is stable, however, every now and then, it just ends.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
 

Room For Improvement

Stitch users seek improved support, exotic connectors, AI enhancements, customization, streamlined interfaces, and better communication of updates.
TIBCO BusinessWorks faces usability issues, high costs, inefficiencies, and lacks advanced integration with AI, IoT, and cloud.
Stitch cannot connect to all databases or third-party apps, such as Amazon Seller.

I saved a lot of time getting from having no design inspiration to having full-fledged designs.
Product Designer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I suggest developing a featured interface that is easier to use.
software developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.
Senior Analyst at Etisalat
They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
 

Setup Cost

Stitch's pricing is seen as fair and cost-effective, despite initial perceptions of high costs and mixed licensing simplicity.
TIBCO BusinessWorks pricing is costly for smaller companies but more reasonable for large enterprises with flexible resources.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pretty easy, pretty straightforward, and the cheapest of them all.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
The cost of the seats is actually cheaper by the amount of value that you're adding to the business.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using any ETL tool, they are too expensive.
Senior Manager at pibythree
Pricing is for an enterprise application, so the company pays for it with a company license.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
The current licensing cost for the product involves our resource sourcing team for negotiations.
E2E Delivery Expert - Ignite Delivery & Technical Enablement at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
Because we have enterprise licenses, the pricing for TIBCO BusinessWorks is quite reasonable for us, so we do not see any issue.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
 

Valuable Features

Stitch excels in data integration with automation, real-time insights, extensive connectors, and user-friendly features that enhance functionality.
TIBCO BusinessWorks provides user-friendly, scalable solutions with robust integration and low-code environment for efficient connectivity and rapid deployment.
The image to HTML conversion helps me in my projects because it allows you to acquire professional designs without starting from scratch.
software developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
We take one week of time to design an application, but now we can design that application within two days, which is 16 hours.
UX lead at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
We can easily move and do time-to-market for a new pipeline and new integration, positively impacting our organization.
Staff Data Engineer at GitLab
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.
Senior Analyst at Etisalat
Drag and drop make it easier to build the service end to end.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
TIBCO BusinessWorks' real-time data exchange capability has benefited our customers greatly; we conduct a lot of messaging with Superstream and external partners, so it works well for us.

Featured Reviews

Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
Data team has transformed diverse environmental streams and now delivers real-time insights
The best thing that we've seen coming out of Stitch is the Talend and Qlik relationship becoming more of a single entity rather than two entities. A couple of years ago there was a distinction between Stitch and Qlik. The biggest challenge when we were dealing with both was that we felt like we were dealing with two different companies. They are quickly merging the two different entities into a single one, and by around the end of this year, they're planning to basically consolidate everything. Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together. It's not quite exactly one solution. That's probably the biggest negative at the moment. Each month we're seeing improvements in the cloud platform, and they're coming out with capabilities that we haven't even thought about that are going to make our lives easier. Probably the biggest negative they have is they're doing so much good stuff, but we don't know about it. It just appears and then we figure it out ourselves, but the communication of changes could be improved. However, the positives are that they're changing so much at the moment.
Vinod_Parmar - PeerSpot reviewer

Long-term integration has supported real-time data exchange and simplified adapter-based workflows
The challenges I have faced with TIBCO BusinessWorks mostly relate to financial applications that do not come with those adapters, so that requires custom coding. The features currently in TIBCO BusinessWorks are good enough, but going forward, as we are doing a lot of AI-based integrations, I would like to see TIBCO come up with more prompt-driven configurations rather than people having to understand deep technology. AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers. More artificial intelligence functionality would help so people do not have to code.
