TIBCO EBX Reviews

We are trying to achieve is to have customer vendors fill in various master data. It will be used across the enterprise and will be used for sourcing from a different data sources. Currently, we are working through this process and providing master requests.

The match and merge features are very good. They help for, for example, validating visas.

We also use a lot of add-ons.

The data quality is very good. 

The solution is stable.

You can customize the product.

It can scale if you need it to.

There are some areas when I compare this to other products where it could be better.  The data quality, workflow, integration of data quality, and the force to master data attributes can be enhanced. 

The performance could be better. 

The initial setup can be a bit complex. 

I would like to see higher-level filters.

I've been using the solution for the last two years or so.

The performance could be better. We're not 100% happy with it at this time. 

That said, it is a stable product.

We have more than 48 users at this time. 

The solution is scalable and customizable. 

While I haven't been in direct communication with technical support, we do have teams that are able to reach them if they need to. 

The initial setup can be a bit difficult. It's not easy to configure it actually. We need some experience and configuring it right now is an issue. It's not so easy we can start using it on day one. The process is complex due to the level of customization.

The deployment process was long. It took us about three months in total. 

There is a bit of maintenance required. It's periodical. It may require patching every once in a while, for example. 

We had a third-party vendor that helped us implement the product.

I don't handle any aspect of the pricing or licensing. I'm not sure how much the solution costs. 

We're a customer and an end-user.

Currently, we are one version behind. We're going to upgrade to the latest version maybe in two months, however, I'm not sure of the exact date.

I'd advise new users to ensure they understand the scope of their implementation and applicability in their observation. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

There are a lot of possible use cases for this Master Data Management tool.

In terms of most valuable features, the policies are really good.

The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved.

I have been using TIBCO MDM for two years.

We have 510 people using the solution.

In terms of technical support - it can be improved. I would give support a 7 out of 10.

The initial setup is not too complex, it's okay. It is medium complexity.

I would advise interested people that you need to understand what it is used for, what the use cases are. It takes money and effort, but it could be very good for you.

On a scale of one to ten I would rate TIBCO MDM a nine.

I use this program in my work in the pharmaceutical industry. We develop projects around a product master in the company.

The program is very user-friendly and the .com order is easy to design.

Sometimes it is a little difficult to find an architect for certain developments. You kind of have to be like technicians to work with this product if you want to make some specific development. So perhaps it could be simplified. The design should also be easier and more visual.

We haven't had any issues or technical problems so far, so I believe the program is stable.

The technical team takes care of the customer and they usually responds quickly. I think we are very satisfied with the support.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward.

The solution is not that expensive because we use JavaScript sometimes for specific developments. 

This is a rather technical solution and you must know that it takes some preparation before you can start working on it. In the future I would like to have a clean proof of the design of the data modem. It should be easy and visual.

I will rate the solution an eight out of ten because I think there are some things to improve and that could be better. 

I am a consultant, my job is to implement this solution. I deploy the on-prem and cloud models. 

The API and the data model are very valuable features. 

In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data. 

It's extremely stable.

It can scale, you need the scalability.

They provide very good support. 

I previously used several solutions but I couldn't find all the solutions in one place, so I had to piece together lots of separate systems to do the same thing. Now EBX does everything for me. I used the hybrid model but I switched because EBX does everything. Everything is in one place and easier to use.

The initial setup is a little complex. It's not something that users can just quickly do themselves.

I am the consultant that does the deployments. 

I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others who are considering it. 

I would rate it a ten out of ten because it's the best. 

Deployment is super quick. Turn around time is great. The product uses Java as its underlying platform, so integration with external apps is easily achievable. With a huge amount of data (multi-million rows in a table), the tool may slow down.

Great MDM product. Multiple solutions use this product. I would highly recommend to new customers.

• Deployment is super quick.
• Turnaround time is great.
• Supports 360-degree MDM view
• Great out-of-the-box configurable access permissions.

EBX should target becoming horizontally scalable. Currently, it supports vertical scalability only.

I moved away from Informatica and PeopleSoft.

Version 5.13 is stable and well supported but uses proprietary Dev environment

Version 6 moves to open source but is not very stable and not very usable.

Great integration tool for complex integration environment - large range of adapters and connection software.

Version 6 needs more work - stay with 5 unless you have to move.

Several years.

No.

No.

No.

The technical support is very good.

Replaced SAP PI in some areas - much better and easier to implement.

It takes a while to set up but once installed works well

Has reputation for being expensive - there are cheaper alternatives however don't offer the range of adapters or integration experience that TIBCO has.

TIBCO seems to be emphasizing on analytics and other areas rather than integration which were its roots.
