We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow and TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product integrates well with other pipelines and solutions."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"Apache Airflow is easy to use and can monitor task execution easily. For instance, when performing setup tasks, you can conveniently view the logs without delving into the job details."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
"The scheduling and the calendar are very useful."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"I would like to see it more friendly for other use cases."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"The dashboard is connected into the BPM flow that could be improved."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"Airflow should support the dynamic drag creation."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"The maintenance of the package could be improved."
"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Technical support needs to be streamlined."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
