"We used a third-party vendor, who help us install the solution and it was not easy."
"IBM does not support orchestration, which is how they designed it, and other BPM tools in the market support orchestration. If they merged the BPM capability into this product, then it would be a better solution."

"The stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."
"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."
"In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager."
