TIBCO EBX Other Advice

We aren't using the latest version of the solution. We're a few minor versions behind.

There are some questions coming up, of what our direction is going organizationally. There are some new directions that may include moving to the cloud from on-premises.

That could have an impact. There's also an appetite for high availability and scalability and all of that as we are a very large organization. On the other hand, some of the competition that is using the same tool, are some of the really big banks and such. There are other organizations, other financial institutions that use it. Their typical complaints are concern over scalability but they're using it, so it's not so surmountable.

The advice I give to others is if it's the first time you're doing data governance, you're not just implementing what you're doing manually today. You want to improve the process. There has to be some practice and awareness of the process design and the rules about governance.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would advise others that are wanting to implement TIBCO EBX they should try to build the data model from the beginning until the end. Take the time that they need, try to build as much as possible in the data model. It is best to build the workflow that they want at the beginning. They have to decide if they want history or data governance, or exactly which other part they want. It is important to build what they have and want on paper regarding the functionality of their core system before implementing it into TIBCO EBX. 

I rate TIBCO EBX a ten out of ten.

We would recommend this solution to enterprise sized companies, as well as midsized organizations that have sufficient available budget.

There is also a cloud-based version of this solution, however, the on-premises version allows for greater control over the data environment, and so may be preferable for certain geographical locations.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We're just customers and end-users. 

Whether I would advise another company to choose this solution or not depends a bit on the use case they are going to develop. I would say that, if a company has a basic use case, a basic means of getting data from a few sources like Oracle, SQL Server, Teradata etc., then maybe it is sufficient. However, if you are having an enterprise-level situation for SAP or Oracle Apps , it might scale up that well.  Performance is also an issue as it does not optimize the underlying clusters to a great extent as compared of its competitors. One good thing is that, with the data model, you can just go and see the data model very well, to the most granular level and identify if there are any gaps. It also has a rich compare data model feature.

 However, again, for the workflow, you cannot edit it in the visual editor. You have to go back to that tree setup and there after complete editing during compile only one would be able to see if any errors has crept in or not. Having said that I would say the Workflows once created are very robust.

There are some competing tools that allow the editing of workflows in the visual setup itself. That is very easy for users. If you can edit it in the visual setup, you can directly see the impacted upstream and downstream tasks or jobs in that workflow and conflicts if any. This speeds up the updating of the workflows by the data engineers or data stewards.

I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten. The solution is average from an enterprise standpoint.

We're a customer and an end-user.

Currently, we are one version behind. We're going to upgrade to the latest version maybe in two months, however, I'm not sure of the exact date.

I'd advise new users to ensure they understand the scope of their implementation and applicability in their observation. 

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

Nowadays there are lot of MDM tools available in market, but I would recommend Tibco MDM if good throughput is required with its integration layer.

I would advise interested people that you need to understand what it is used for, what the use cases are. It takes money and effort, but it could be very good for you.

On a scale of one to ten I would rate TIBCO MDM a nine.

This is a rather technical solution and you must know that it takes some preparation before you can start working on it. In the future I would like to have a clean proof of the design of the data modem. It should be easy and visual.

I will rate the solution an eight out of ten because I think there are some things to improve and that could be better.

TIBCO seems to be emphasizing on analytics and other areas rather than integration which were its roots.
