    PegaRules Process Commander is much easier to configure the rules, and it follows a effective Class structure in background. All though BPM has a BOM, it is sometimes difficult to modify BOM once it is deployed.

    Organization which uses TIBCO Business Works or TIBCO Business Process Management or TIBCO BPM Enterprise can make use of TIBCO Messaging as it works well with other TIBCO tools. Many TIBCO tools have TIBCO Messaging products bundled as a package along with other TIBCO tools. Use of dynamic topics and queues makes run time processing easier.

    • Tibco EMS performs very well, and it meets our stringent performance requirements for corporate messaging backbone.
    • Tibco EMS scales well, and this is another of our stringent requirements.
    • Tibco provides good support for the EMS product, and continues to improve it. This is important as we don't want to use something that does not keep up with the changes in the technology landscape.

    Cons
    Cloud Software Group
    • A little bit too conservative. Not really anything leading edge. [Tibco] has plenty of customers, and that means they will probably be around forever, but [product enhancements] seem to be more [abundant in competitor product offerings].
    • It would be great to have some pre-defined themes. Pie chart labels - it would be great to get more options for sizing and placement.
    • I find it hard to trust the online portal too much. I doubt the security that is offered by this software.

    • In terms of TIBCO Messaging, it would nice to have a more out-of-the-box way of linking its objects (queues, topics) directly to those of other popular solutions like MQ or Kafka.
    • Not being able to filter (that is, using selectors) through patterns/subtexts on the message body is missed on occasions.
    • Given the current trends and state-of-art, lift & shift of on-premise EMS clusters to cloud architectures should be more directly attainable.

    EMS is a solid system and I see no reason to abandon it, in fact I am eager to see what the next versions will offer and future road maps. Knowing we have support to help us in case of problems is invaluable, both in case of critical issues and to improve overall performance.

    TIBCO BPM Enterprise can be integrated with other technologies like React UI which can be used to customize front end and TIBCO Business Works for processing. Services created in TIBCO BPM Enterprise can be exposed to REST which can be shared as API to external systems. Users can be created and modifies very easily using out of the box TIBCO BPM Openspace and Workspace. Events can be customized and this data can be used to generate reports.

    For BPM we looked at some IBM products suites, BPM Online, Oracle products and Pega Systems. The decision to go with AMX BPM was based on the evaluation by the software architect team and the cost of acquiring the TIBCO suites.

    We also use other messaging products: IBM MQ, especially for integration with other systems (server2server), which has been an industry standard for a long time, and Apache Kafka for cloud-native applications. EMS is a worse option compared to them, but it is still acceptable.

    Return on Investment
    Cloud Software Group
    • In order to create a BPM management, you need to make a very solid data management model, which becomes very important in its reuse
    • The business process is very often unconnected with the implementation logic and therefore plays in favor of the re-usability of the software
    • Large customization at log level for which managing these tools can be handled minimizing effort
