Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues.""One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST.""The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently.""Customer support is very efficient.""We use the solution to develop applications.""It is a seamless and sophisticated tool.""One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work.""Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system.""It was mostly easy to set up the product.""The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable.""The installation process is easy.""I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture.""The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations.""The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable.""The stability is excellent."

Cons
"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.""Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time.""Could be more user friendly in the development area.""TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support.""Cloud fitness is lacking""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 initial setup is not easy.""The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."

More TIBCO BusinessWorks Cons →

"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced.""I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version.""The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components.""The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution.""If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me.""The integration capabilities need to be improved.""I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues.""The customization can be a bit difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
  • "It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
  • "Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."
  • "I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
  • "Licensing scheme is too rigid"
  • "I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."
  • "The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."
  • "I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
  • More TIBCO BusinessWorks Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
  • "The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
  • "The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
  • "It is a low-cost solution."
  • "The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
  • "I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
