User Testimonials
	IBM Integration Bus	TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM Routing, protocol transformation, message transformation and service aggregation are very well performed by WebSphere Message Broker (WMB). It is not very suitable for integration with databases. Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	TIBCO Software Inc. It fits perfectly for SOA and EAI architecture with large numbers of services that required to be wired to each other, the binding virtualization is quite good to simply this part. For the simple scenario of orchestration and /or ESB architecture could be a better use traditional stack. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	IBM Graphical data mapper Support for different programming languages Integration with MQ Support for different parsers Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	TIBCO Software Inc. reduce the number of http port required by services simplified the binding connection amongst services high scalability and fast deployment of applications Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	IBM Logging Debugging Code quality tools Feature specific installation Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	TIBCO Software Inc. health check of services and application features has been released with a lot of bugs that have never been fixed it is not so simple to apply the security policy to service/reference binding Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	IBM Websphere message broker supports a lot more protocols than any other similar tool. Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	TIBCO Software Inc. TIBCO service grid has been chosen as a natural selection of the TIBCO product evolution. The high flexibility and the binding virtualization fits very well with client needs for its EAI applications due to the huge number of services and applications, the management of application dependencies during deployment, the advantage of perfect integration with EMS for logging Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	IBM It helped us in improving the speed to market for our services/APIs. Learning curve is quite long Incentivized Srinivasa Manne Principal Software Engineer Developer Read full review	TIBCO Software Inc. The integration of old BW with BWSE and its interface quite similar to design time has reduced the cost of training for developers The TIBCO support for this product is no the best and clients complains too much about this. This required to find a workaround or force the client to move to new/or different product. Huge impact on ROI Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
