Cons
"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services.""It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc.""Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs""The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API.""You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely.""I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."

More Aurea CX Messenger Cons →

"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.""The initial setup process could be easier.""Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions.""Our version does not have cloud capabilities.""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.""In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager.""The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced.""We'd like to see improvements in product support."
