    IBM WebSphere Hybrid edition is well-suited for the development and deployment of large enterprise-level applications such as Electronic Health Records that are used in our organization. IBM WebSphere is appropriate for organizations that require strong security and compliance as it provides a high level of security and compliance features. This works well with organizations that are subject to strict regulatory requirements, such as hospitals.

    Taking data from various sources including files, databases, web services, applying some complex rules, transforming, aggregating and producing a result. This is what Spotfire Streaming does best.
    - If one needs connectivity to special services as secured databases or web services, building interactive web apps, those are probably tasks that shall be addressed with different tools.

    • Processing events in real-time with real low latency and high throughput.
    • 100% visual program language, which can be extended by common languages like Java, Python and .NET.
    • Reduced time to prototype, create an application and deployment, which reduces the software lifecycle.
    • Real robust engine and server. Barely heard of customers having issues in production.

    Cons
    IBM
    • Ease of use in terms of deployment, give simple interface to do simple stuff like Tomcat, JBoss or GlassFish.
    • Takes long time to start the server.
    • The Liferay wars need to be decorated and then deployed. Perhaps we could simplify that.
    • Some of the concepts are good for complexity that WAS can handle but could be simplified and better documented, like concepts of well and profile, context, etc.
    • A Liferay war file created using Liferay Developer studio runs fine in Tomcat, however that may not run in WAS 7.x because it needs to be decorated. I had one war for a Liferay portlet with a simple cron job, and had hard time running to WAS server. It was running on the latest free download done on my friends m/c. Other times I have seen that there are issues running a war file that runs on Tomcat but runs on WAS after lot of customization for WAS.
    • The corporations like this however, the product may need better vibrant community of users where issues can be discussed.

    • Being a niche tool, there's not much community support
    • It is on prem, making it slow to boot. not cloud native (It could be that it is our org's issue)
    • The dev environment is very tough to understand for large projects due to the wire style UI/UX

    Mostly we will be renewing unless the strategic direction changes drastically or there are other complelling external circumstances. We've been on a multi year project to modernize our legacy applications and that effort will continue for the foreseeable future.

    Usability
    IBM
    WebSphere Application Server is used across our organization. Most projects use this for Java products and applications. Being robust and scalable makes it even more usable. We love using WebSphere Application Server due to its configuration management ability made simple and vast across all java related parameters. It is dependent on the features and upgrades and IBM releases some great upgrades to WebSphere Application Server.

    The usability is good in terms that it gets well integrated with the Spotfire suite but the only few issues I have is the tough UI/UX (learning curve, if the project is huge) and unable to find many users and devs to help with the queries. At the end it is solely based on the documentation provided which is never enough

    Performance

    Deploys fairly quick enough and like the roll-out update feature decreasing the downtime and also plays well with other integration tools as well.

    IBM was quick to respond when we had an issue with our specific infrastructure. We raised a PMR, which they picked up quickly and updated us about every step of the way. We had an appropriate fix for quite a business critical issue within a fortnight, which was impressive!

    Cleo Integration Clould has many bells and whistles; however, when we added more maps and trading partners, it really slowed down. We found that the Cleo support was very slow to respond and there was a language barrier. IBM Websphere had better customer support and its processing was much faster than Cleo Integration Cloud

    We are using Dataflow (by Google).The development time in Spotfire Streaming is definitely shorter because its GUI based. Dataflow handles late arrivals after the window closes, not sure Spotfire Streaming can do that. Dataflow can run GCP as a managed service which is why we chose that tool for our new product.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • Continuous uptime of the business applications we manage
    • It's now much simpler for me to build and deploy cloud-native applications.
    • Because it can offload for me management and maintenance of the application server to IBM I can focus on the development, deployment and testing of the applications which is more important

    • While we haven't specifically integrated Spotfire Streaming into our product development, it has allowed us to see the benefits of real-time streaming data.
    • We have much more visibility into how our longer term roadmap will look and what we should focus on.
