Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The core is very stable.""One of the most valuable features is being able to implement business processes while keeping track of the design from BPMN to a BPEL Implementation.""OpenESB pushes the organization to clearly define service boundaries and interfaces. So it motives the business and the development teams to clearly define their business services and processes they want to implement. OpenESB supports fine and coarse-grain granularity for the services and supports top-down and bottom-up approaches for the services, processes definition, and composition.""The process-oriented solution allows you to define choreography and orchestration."

"The product’s most valuable feature is stability.""The technology is really easy to learn.""It's very stable and reliable.""The solution is very stable.""The most valuable feature is that it is a service-oriented architecture, SOA-based.""The most attractive and beneficial feature is the ease of development.""The stability of this solution is excellent.""It is easy to develop. It has a very wide range of features. The older versions are very stable, and there are no issues with the product."

Cons
"The documentation of the product must be improved. It could be tricky to find the right documentation on a topic since the documentation is spread in many places. I advise the new joiner to contact the community to get entry points and additional documentation. Tutorial and Video must be present to take up the product.""The documentation needs to be better.""Cloud deployment is weak and needs to be improved.""Regarding its management, a web console being able to synchronize distributed instances would be great."

More OpenESB Cons →

"I don't like the product's API management platform, as it doesn't offer users enough functionality to help with API lifecycle management, making it a product that is way behind its competitors.""Our version does not have cloud capabilities.""The solution is very expensive when you use multiple components, it would b better if this could be reduced.""In the next release, there should be improvements made to the API manager.""Issues with the support, the fees, and the termination of the professional services are reasons we are looking for other solutions.""We'd like to see improvements in product support.""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 stability of their latest version is not on par with their classic version 5.X."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There are two versions. The first is the community version, which is free and contains the last part of the feature, but if you want to get the Enterprise version, you'll have to pay €60,000 which covers support and two instances on production."
  • "The Community Edition is a full product you can use in production, it does not have limitations like other alternatives."
  • "The cost for the prediction instrument is high because it is charged per instances based on prediction, but the rest of the solution is free."
  • More OpenESB Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "When it comes to cost, TIBCO is much more competitive than a product like Pega."
  • "The licensing cost is a challenge for quite a few customers."
  • "The price is on the higher side. For the same price, if I go to the previous version, I would have got a lot more capacity with similar kinds of features."
  • "Its licensing cost is considerably high as compared to other ESBs."
  • "The biggest issue disadvantage of TIBCO is that it is expensive."
  • "Price-wise, I would say that the product is expensive."
