FICO Blaze Advisor is suitable for cases where you have to deal with rules and where you want to customise the rules based on the business need then this product is very good to use. Also it provide easy deployment so, wherever there is frequent changes in deployment then this tool is good to use since it provides the direct deployment.

TIBCO BusinessEvents is part of the CEP (Complex Event Processing) family, this means that it fits perfectly in all those scenarios where a correlation between incoming events is required. Where a stateful process is necessary. It does not fit well for a kind of Process Orchestrator scope, where simple events are coming in, and there is a well-defined behavior the system, would have on incoming request, and no particular reason to use a rule engine and its complexity. Anyway, there are particular cases where BusinessEvents would be a good actor in orchestrating a portion of CEP solutions activities

• It allows us to build rule-based model-driven application, to collect, filter, analyze, correlate various business events in our real-time event flow
• It makes various business applications/components easy to integrate (loosely decoupled but chained via the events flow) together
• Its distributed rule engine and embedded in-memory data grid (ActiveSpace) gives us a lot of flexibility and room to play with a large amount of rules and data with high performance

Incentivized

• Slow response
• Slow Notifications
• Less documentation and support

• Better integration with R versions and better debug for R-scripts in Spotfire. There are inconsistencies in syntactic expressions accepted by R-studio and not accepted in Spotfire. Accelerating the debug would be awesome. Having a command like View (data frame) that directly output in the dashboard would be a great accelerator.

Overall using FICO Blaze Advisor is good experience since change in any existing things were very easy in FICO Blaze Advisor, and I was easily able to make the change and deploy the things directly so that was real quick to check the things in the production, and this is the best point about FICO Blaze Advisor.

I was not part of evaluation of the products in this space in my organization. But I feel BE is better in terms of RIO if compared with some commercial products from Orcle, IBM and SAP. I strongly feel difficulty in using cloud native features is one big shortcoming in current product offering. This will tend customer like us to explore options that are well suited with ur cloud first vision.

• Positive : Decision Tables are a huge plus in TIBCO BE.
