"The stability of this solution is excellent."
"TIBCO has the platform in terms of speed and ease of use."
"It's very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the performance is robust."
"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."
"The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring, ease of use, and easy to understand development GUI."
"The solution needs instruction or guidance."
"Its documentation is currently lacking. We have different environments where we use our configuration services, but we are not able to find documentation about how to deploy the local code to the server and how to set it up on a server level. I would like more documents from IBM that explain which variables should be in your machine while building a project, and when you deploy the code into the server, what should be their values. There are some variable values. I could not find such documentation. While working on a project, I developed the code on a local machine, and while deploying the code to our test environment, I made a couple of mistakes. We had to change some values at the server level, but we couldn't find any documentation regarding this, which made the task difficult."
"We have to stop the integration server to start the debugging process."
"The memory footprint should be minimized."
"Session management can sometimes hand forcing server reboots."
"IBM could improve its connectivity."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
"It provides all the features that are required for day-to-day work. So far, I haven't seen any major issues that impact our work. I have been told that IBM App Connect Enterprise, which is the next version of IIB, is really good. It is better than IIB, and it gives you more coverage in terms of application integration."
"I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors."
"Our version does not have cloud capabilities."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
"In the configuration, where we need to customize, it takes more time that we expect it to, ideally."
"Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
"The intermediate version that we are using has stability issues. These stability issues should be resolved, but it seems like TIBCO is not focusing on resolving these issues. The resolution timelines are quite high even for high-priority incidents. Its price should be lower. Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
"The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced."
