We performed a comparison between PubSub+ Event Broker and TIBCO Enterprise Message Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."As of now, the most valuable aspects are the topic-based subscription and the fanout exchange that we are using."
"When we went to add another installation in our private cloud, it was easy. We received support from Solace and the install was seamless with no issues."
"The most valuable feature of PubSub+ Event Broker is the scaling integration. Prior to using the solution, it was done manually with a file, and it can be done instantly live."
"We like the seamless flexibility in protocol exchange offering without writing a code."
"The most useful features has been the WAN optimization and probably the HybridEdge, which requires some third-party adapters or plugins. The idea that we can position Solace as a protocol-agnostic message transport fabric is key to our company having all manners of asynchronous messaging protocols from MQ, Kafka, JMS, etc. I really like the WAN optimization: Send once over a WAN, then distribute locally as many times as there are subscribers."
"Guaranteed Messaging allows for us to transport messages between on-prem and the cloud without any loss of data."
"One of the main reasons for using PubSub+ is that it is a proper event manager that can handle events in a reactive way."
"The event portal and the diversity of deployment options in a hybrid landscape are the most valuable features."
"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."
"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."
"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."
"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."
"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."
"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."
"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."
"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."
"The licensing and the cost are the major pitfalls."
"Some of the feature's gaps with some of the open-source vendors have been closed in a lot of ways. Being more agile and addressing those earlier could be an area for improvement."
"One of the areas of improvement would be if we could tell the story a bit better about what an event mesh does or why an event mesh is foundational to a large enterprise that has a wide diversity of applications that are homegrown and a small number off the shelf."
"The ease of management could be approved. The GUI is very good, but to configure and manage these devices programmatically in the software version is not easy. For example, if I would like to spin up a new software broker, then I could in theory use the API, but it would require a considerable amount of development effort to do so. There should be a tool, or something that Solace supports, that we could use for this, e.g., a platform like Terraform where we could use infrastructure as code to configure our source appliances."
"I would like them to design topic and queue schemas, mapping them to the enterprise data structure."
"The deployment process is complex."
"The integrations could improve in PubSub+ Event Broker."
"The product should allow third-party agents to be installed. Currently, it is quite proprietary."
"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."
"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."
"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."
