Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"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."
"Good performance and reliability."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"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."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"It is a very stable product."
"It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
