"The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it."
"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."
"It is a very robust system."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"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."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"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."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"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."
"I would like the solution to be integrated into the cloud."
