TIBCO BusinessWorks vs webMethods.io comparison

"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."

"Customer support is very efficient."

"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."

"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."

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

"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."

"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."

"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."

"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."

"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."

"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."

"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."

"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."

"It is a very stable product."

"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."

"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."

"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."

"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."

"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."

"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."

"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."

"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."

"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."

"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."

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

"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."

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

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

"The cost depends on the components required."

"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."

"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."

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

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."

"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."
