TIBCO BusinessWorks' scalability is good.

TIBCO is running in the background in my company, so we have developers working on it, with five people working on the product itself. We have a lot of systems that use TIBCO.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Scalability with TIBCO BusinessWorks is problematic for us as it is expensive. It is also not possible to scale up TIBCO BusinessWorks drastically. You can scale up to a certain extent by adding memory, but that is way more expensive.

This solution is easy to scale. I think it's easier than other solutions that I know, such as WSO2, or Java components, or IBM solutions. From my perspective, this solution is most suitable for large companies. 

Scalability is a challenge. Because we are using on-prem and it is not on the cloud, autoscaling is not happening. Autoscaling is not possible because we need to increase the cores and RAM in our virtual machine and bring the services up.

TIBCO has another version that supports the cloud, but we are not using that particular version because it is very expensive. We have raised some of the questions with them, and we got a quote from the TIBCO team about the cost of the cloud-supported version, but we would also like to evaluate other cloud-supported tools that are available in the market, such as MuleSoft and Fiorano. We would like to compare these tools and see which one is feasible and for which one, people are available for development activities.

I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten. My organization has around 3000 users.

I'm not sure about scalability. When we test, it's only one or two users who are testing because we don't have the live traffic. Even if we're doing a load test, we don't do load tests on UAT, we do our load test on production. I have to confirm with our operations team because, as a developer, I'm focused more on the functional and maybe load testing. I've never had an issue with load testing, at least. 

Our DevOps team has around 35 people. 

Its scalability features are pretty cool. Our clients are enterprise companies.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten. Since the solution is not a web-based interface, we have around 300-400 users using it in our company. The usage of the solution was being increased all over the years. Now, it will increase if it's a normal year. If COVID-19 strikes again, it will decrease.

BusinessWorks is scalable.

I think the scalability of TIBCO BusinessWorks is very good. We have about 90 million messages per day. They intend to increase usage because sometimes during peak hours all the resources are being used.

The solution is scalable.

This solution is scalable, but the file size of the best image has some limitations which restrict its ability to scale rapidly. If we adjust the TIP configurations, I believe it will improve the scalability.

I give the scalability a seven out of ten.

BusinessWorks is scalable, but I feel limited by the license.

TIBCO BusinessWorks is scalable to a limit that depends on the licensing. I don't know the number of cases we can scale up or down, but all customers have categorized licensing if they have gold or silver.

We also have about 100 to 150 users using this solution, and we need approximately a minimum of 20 staff to maintain this solution. Our support team is separate from our deployment team, and we have about 30 to 40 support staff.

It is not scalable on its own. 

We have around 300 to 400 users. They are infrastructure architects, admins, business users, etc. 

In most cases the solution is scalable but it depends on the environment.

With TIBCO as a platform, scalability should not be an issue because it is cloud-based and should support autoscaling. You run the Docker image on Kubernetes or RedHat, then the BW (BusinessWorks) site is always relatively stable and also very easy to scale. It is scalable both vertically and horizontally.  

As far as looking at it as scaling to a larger number of users, TIBCO is really not a GUI where a user will log in and perform tasks. It is middleware, where you use it to expose APIs and from there you have systems connecting to it. So it supports the operations of the entire enterprise. You can not really quantify the number of users because it is just a tool for exposing APIs.  

I would rate the product's scalability a seven out of ten. We can change things as per requirements. 

The solution is scalable. We have 20 or 30 people on the solution and a team that handles deployment and maintenance.

No issues.

Runtime entities (like AppNodes) can be added on the fly, and applications on the same AppSpace are automatically deployed on the new AppNode.

The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently.

This is a scalable product and we have about 200 people who use it.
