IBM Knowledge Catalog vs. TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid

The IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog is most well suited for large companies. With large companies storing data for a long amount of time, this can be helpful to allow all team members to find documents with ease. It would be less appropriate for storage that is deleted very often or does not needs to be saved for long amounts of time.

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.

• I think an industry-specific data catalog service will be good.
• Effective alignment of IBM consulting services and bringing in an Industry point of view will be great.
• Effective reach out like roadshows, etc. will be good.

• health check of services and application features has been released with a lot of bugs that have never been fixed

The IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog is a great amount of storage for the price. It is easily accessed by all users in the company. It provides great search features and clear pathways to locate documents. This is great for the team and our client when needing access to a specific document.

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

• The negative note: is that it needs to have a very secure cloud infrastructure and with its data well defined for integration with other databases.
• The positive point: allows for quick data discoveries aiding a quick implementation of privacy programs.

• 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
