"Overall the solution operates well and has good integration."
"The MQ protocol is widely used across multiple applications and it's so simple for connectivity."

"I haven't seen any issues with respect to the message loss."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It improves reliability and guarantees that messages are not lost."
"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."

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

"I wanted to upgrade Windows Server. It's not that easy to move."
"I can't say pricing is good."
"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."
"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
