We performed a comparison between TIBCO BusinessWorks and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator 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."Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"Good performance and reliability."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The installation process is easy."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The stability is excellent."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"The cost has room for improvement."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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 administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
