"Additional documentation needs to be provided for complex automations."
"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"For the workloads that are not too high, appliance is a little bit expensive."
"Traceability could be improved, especially for business operations. The traceability of the transactions could be an improvement point for DataPower to work on. It would be better if they provided JSON support. JSON protocol data has changed format. It started performing internal transformation to JSONx. This might be an additional complexity."
"In the next release, I would like to see the product price reduced. It should be cheaper."
"They should add features to manage API integrations."
"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."
"If TIBCO could be able to sort the size of their base image in the Container edition, it would be really marvelous. Right now it's around 299 MB. We'd really want it to reduce to a few MBs."
"Migration to cloud solutions or products should be made convenient, transparent, and easily understandable."
"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."
"We'd like to see improvements in product support."
