Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It is user friendly, it's not complex.""The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time.""The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment.""One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST.""The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool.""Good performance and reliability.""Customer support is very efficient."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks Pros →

"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well.""The learning curve for this solution is very good.""The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable.""In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users.""The solution's customer service is good.""The installation process is easy.""The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations.""Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."

Cons
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time.""Technical support is average. It's not the best.""The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult.""Could be more user friendly in the development area.""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.""Cloud fitness is lacking""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.""The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks Cons →

"The customization can be a bit difficult.""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 integration capabilities need to be improved.""The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it.""The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality.""WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
  • "It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
  • "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 think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
  • "Licensing scheme is too rigid"
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
  • More TIBCO BusinessWorks Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
  • "The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
  • "The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
  • "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."
  • "I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
