We performed a comparison between PubSub+ Event Broker and TIBCO Enterprise Message Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When we went to add another installation in our private cloud, it was easy. We received support from Solace and the install was seamless with no issues."
"The most useful features has been the WAN optimization and probably the HybridEdge, which requires some third-party adapters or plugins. The idea that we can position Solace as a protocol-agnostic message transport fabric is key to our company having all manners of asynchronous messaging protocols from MQ, Kafka, JMS, etc. I really like the WAN optimization: Send once over a WAN, then distribute locally as many times as there are subscribers."
"The event portal and the diversity of deployment options in a hybrid landscape are the most valuable features."
"The topic hierarchy is pretty flexible. Once you have the subject defined just about anybody who knows Java can come onboard. The APIs are all there."
"We like the seamless flexibility in protocol exchange offering without writing a code."
"Going from something where we had outages and capacity issues constantly to a system that was able to scale with the massive market data and messaging spikes that happened during the initial stages of the COVID crisis in March, we were able to scale with 40 plus percent growth in our platform over the course of days."
"One of the main reasons for using PubSub+ is that it is a proper event manager that can handle events in a reactive way."
"This solution reduces the latency to access changes in real-time and the effort required to onboard a new subscriber. It also reduces the maintenance of each of those interfaces because now the publisher and subscribers are decoupled. Event Broker handles all the communication and engagement. We can just push one update, then we don't have to know who is consuming it and what's happening to that publication downstream. It's all done by the broker, which is a huge benefit of using Event Broker."
"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."
"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."
"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."
"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."
"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."
"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."
"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."
"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."
"For improvements, I would suggest increasing the max payload size to a limit of 100MB or more. The current max payload size is limited to 5MB."
"The deployment process is complex."
"The integrations could improve in PubSub+ Event Broker."
"The ease of management could be approved. The GUI is very good, but to configure and manage these devices programmatically in the software version is not easy. For example, if I would like to spin up a new software broker, then I could in theory use the API, but it would require a considerable amount of development effort to do so. There should be a tool, or something that Solace supports, that we could use for this, e.g., a platform like Terraform where we could use infrastructure as code to configure our source appliances."
"The licensing and the cost are the major pitfalls."
"I would like them to design topic and queue schemas, mapping them to the enterprise data structure."
"A challenge we currently have is Solace's ability to integrate with single sign-on in our Active Directory and other single sign-on tools and platforms that any company would have. It's important for the platforms to work. Typically, they support only LDAP-based connectivity to our SQL Servers."
"The product should allow third-party agents to be installed. Currently, it is quite proprietary."
"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."
"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."
"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."
"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
