TIBCO Messaging
Considered Both Products
TIBCO Messaging
Chose TIBCO Messaging
TIBCO is an alternate method but does not meet all the needs of cloud -native system.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
We chose TIBCO Messaging not just for its performance but because it looked like the natural way to pave our existing TIBCO Integration architecture. Setting up TIBCO EMS servers and objects seems more straightforward than with most of competitors. It is easy to configure and …
Chose TIBCO Messaging
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.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service serves as a "barebone" service in our environment. Some applications use TIBCO Rendezvous, others EMS. This allowed us to evaluate the differences and I saw that EMS is more robust and open to different programming languages. In particular, the …
Chose TIBCO Messaging
No real hesitation has this product was natively compatible to make a proper communication between the two TIBCO products we USE (TIBCO Business Works and TIBCO Active Matrix BPM).
Chose TIBCO Messaging
MQ was way more expensive and it is limited in many ways against TIBCO Enterprise Message Service. MQ does not allow easy topic to queue bridging and also requires much more configuration for basic types of activities. Does not support all of the same JMS headers that TIBCO …
Chose TIBCO Messaging
We have both products installed. We prefer on product over the other based on applications requirements.
We have no preferences on these products, we are using both with good results!
Chose TIBCO Messaging
TIBCO is not the industry leader in general but for our unique case and also because we also deployed TIBCO MFT Platform Server, it was the go to choice. The recent improvements like container support also gave us confidence that this is a product for the future. Moving from an …
Chose TIBCO Messaging
IBM MQ was the old product we used, and we migrated from it to TIBCO EMS. We use also RabbitMQ for our light-weight IPC scenarios and Kafka for our data stream use cases. They 3 compose our complete messaging and streaming solution.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
Rabbit is much easier to use and get started with thanks to its online, free, public tutorials and availability of the software on public repositories like Dockerhub, Maven Central, NuGet, etc.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
At the time we made the selection and purchase, we found it to be a performant technology. Also, TIBCO was a young company at that time. In order to have us as ther first major client, they accepted to give us a huge discount on their products, including EMS (that's the main …
Chose TIBCO Messaging
IBM MQ series is a messaging product . You will need to use IBM product suit heavily and it works better but personaly I have not used it. Apache MQ is also a messaging bus and I have come across it with SAP . EMS is light weigh as its written in C language and easy to implement.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
Integration with TIBCO BusinessWorks is out of the box.
JMS and JNDI configuration is very easy using the available wizard.
Client configuration is very simple. Capability to validate the connection at design time.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service was selected because of the contract with TIBCO. We generally see company buying other TIBCO products such as TIBCO BusinessWorks and then TIBCO offers some discount on their "minor" products.
If I would compare technical capabilities of EMS …
Chose TIBCO Messaging
It is easy to configure, develop, upgrade and maintain using TIBCO Emterprise Message Service compared to other products on the market. Deployment or setup of new environments can be automated. Support from theTIBCO engineering team is very responsive and effective.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
We selected TIBCO EMS because we selected TIBCO BW as an ESB. TIBCO EMS must be installed in the TIBCO BW stack. I prefer TIBCO EMS because it implements very powerful functionality like bridges and routing.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
Tibco EMS was among the top choices after extensive research by our internal R&D team. It was select for performance, scalability, and supportability.
Chose TIBCO Messaging
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service has been chosen by the customer because it had many contracts with TIBCO products and it has been full integrated with a TIBCO BusinessWorks platform. Moreover, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service has all required functionalities searched for the …
Chose TIBCO Messaging
Better integration with BW, easier to setup and a very good support whereas others lack some of them. Kafka is a threat anyway

TIBCO Software Inc.
If you need a robust, extensible, reliable Enterprise Service Bus, with "Enterprise" being the key word here, TIBCO [Enterprise Message Service] will be able to fulfill every expectation. As proof of concept, or ad-hoc implementations, it might not be as well suited due to the infrastructure required.

Pros
TIBCO Software Inc.
  • 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
TIBCO Software Inc.
  • 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.
