The Cloud integration is being used for various purposes to integrate both internal systems together and as an endpoint for external companies integrating with our systems, this covers multiple departments but is centralized and managed by IT and is our go-to integration option. The main business driver behind opting for this solution is that it gives our IT the ability to focus on the internal applications they develop with TIBCO being used to integrate these which can be managed by non-technical users without the need for our dev team to be heavily involved. This also provides a simple external endpoint for companies to POST data to our systems that we can easily monitor and create/decommission.
- Usability - the UI is simple and easy to use or a non technical user with the ability for those with the knowledge to do the dev work when needed
- Provisioning time - the ability to create and drop endpoints gives our teams a very simple method to provide external companies access to push data
- Error logging - The error messages generated are concise and usually easily readable for a non technical user
- Marketplace - the connector marketplace gives a really simple way to connect to applications
Cons
- Cost - The annual cost is high and a flat rate, I believe this could be more of a progressive pricing based on planned or actual usage
- Notifications - an easier way to configure the email notifications for errors would be preferred so that it can be more flexible
- Purchase model - The platform should be able to be purchased directly
