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

TIBCO BusinessWorks is used as middleware for us I like TIBCO BusinessWorks because it has a user-friendly GUI for developing solutions. The palette offers a wide range of activities, making it easy to configure and drop activities into the solution. I haven't encountered any drawbacks with…

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

"Customer support is very efficient."

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

"It is user friendly, it's not complex."

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

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

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

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pros

"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."

"The solution's customer service is good."

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

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

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

"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."

"The solution basically conforms to our standards."

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

Cons

"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 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."

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

"There is room for improvement on the learning side."

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

"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 communication protocols could be improved."

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

More TIBCO BusinessWorks cons

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

"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."

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

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

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

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."

"The cost depends on the components required."

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

"The product is not cheap."

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

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

"Licensing scheme is too rigid"

"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."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks pricing and cost advice

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

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

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"It is a low-cost solution."

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

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