We performed a comparison between Fivetran and TIBCO BusinessWorks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
"Good performance and reliability."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"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."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"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."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"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."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
