We performed a comparison between Spring Cloud Data Flow and TIBCO BusinessWorks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"It is a very robust system."
"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."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."
"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."
"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The communication protocols could be improved."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
