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.

Consolidated, reliable, and has responsive technical support

There is a minor need to improve the ease of configuration. The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone. I agree that it has to be that way, as it's a good technology, however, maybe for people with low experience it can be hard. There can be a higher learning curve. The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution. I'd like to see the possibility of configuring the product via consoles with more elasticity without having the need to go to the single files in the file system, add the files manually, and then restarting. We'd like to make some changes, some tuning of the product, using the administration console. If this is extended to the console, it would be great. We need more operations done by the console. It simplifies the life of the worker.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."

"It is a very robust system."

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

"The tool's most valuable feature is BusinessConnect. It's an older product but still quite useful, especially for transferring files from one location to another."

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

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

"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."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."

"The stability is excellent."

"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."

"The solution basically conforms to our standards."

"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."

"The installation process is easy."

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."

"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

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

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

"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."

"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."

"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

"The communication protocols could 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."

"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

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."

"TIBCO BusinessWorks is a very expensive solution."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
