Integration Lead at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees

A value-for-money solution with the requisite features to facilitate efficient communication within an organization

We have been struggling with the stability of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS), but now I don't know how to differentiate whether the issues are caused by the infrastructure or the product itself. So, I am hesitant to provide a rating because I suspect that it might be due to my setup or environment. I really don't know how to evaluate the product independently. We have faced challenges with EMS, but I am unsure if it is related to infrastructure or the product itself. Even if I reach out for support, I am uncertain if the issue will be resolved since it could be partly related to the product. It's a tough situation.

Good communication, stable, and responsive support

TIBCO Rendezvous has some difficulties to be deployed in a cloud environment. We use it typically in a bare-metal infrastructure. We can use a cluster of the nodes of the other companies. For example, we cannot deploy in the cloud infrastructure, but the companies cannot deploy TIBCO Rendezvous in a cloud environment without issues. It is very easy to start the TIBCO Rendezvous in the DMO infrastructure. The first time we deployed TIBCO Rendezvous, we used it to support individual transaction integration between the distributed and mainframe applications. We spent approximately five days deploying TIBCO Rendezvous in the companies in their application. It's very fast to implement and to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."

"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."

"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."

"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."

"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."

"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."

"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."

"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."

"TIBCO Rendezvous has a strategy to communicate in the network between the DMO of the product. They provide strategy through secure communication. They use the UDP protocol, but It's not a resilient protocol. They put another protocol to create a type of guarantee. It has a high level of communication between the DMO. This is the best capability the solution has."

Cons

"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."

"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."

"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."

"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."

"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."

"TIBCO Rendezvous is currently restricted in a cloud environment and it would be more useful in a hybrid cloud setup. It does not work correctly in a cloud environment alone. This is something they can improve in the future."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In our case, we didn't pay for each product separately. We simply paid for all those companies that provided the components."

"The cost of licensing is very high. One should go for the product only if they need to ensure message reliability and they cannot afford to lose messages."

"There is a license needed to use this solution."
