We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere Information Server 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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"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."
"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."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"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."
"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."
