Currently we are using Data Virtualization to combine transactional data from our warehouse and Azure Cloud solution with different Marketing data sources.
- Connecting to traditional relational databases.
- Administration and setting up new data sources.
- Managing users and access.
- The user interface is lacking.
- Compared to competitors such as Domo, there are no incorporated analytics.
- First-time setup is somewhat burdensome.

[TIBCO Data Virtualization] is used across the whole company as a central repository of data. We use it to connect to all of our primary data sources and manipulate that data to provide spotfire with clean data connections. TDV also allows us to join different data sources together so that we can analyze data that is not natively found in one system. We also use a fair amount of caching in [TIBCO Data Virtualization] so that data pulls into spotfire are more efficient.
- Data management: being able to pull and manipulate massive amounts of data in real time makes analysis much easier
- Availability of data connectors: we can connect to virtually any data source, including databases, APIs, flat files, and other web sources.
- Caching: storing standard data pulls in memory means better performance when that data is used in other sources
- seamless connection to spotfire means getting data into spotfire for analysis a breeze
- We did have some issues with API authentication in the past that slowed down our progress on some data, but that was eventually rectified with the latest version of TDV
- Price: we use TDV exclusively to push data into spotfire, but we did investigate if we could use it to push to other systems (excel, power BI, etc.) The cost to push to spotfire is incredibly economical, but scaling to push to other systems was too much for us.
- Not exactly user friendly. a strong db/sql background is pretty much essential to use TDV to the level it should be,

We have begun utilizing Data Virtualization while implementing a Data Governance framework. We are in the initial phases of implementation presently. The goal will be to use Data Virtualization across the organization for consumption of data. It will allow us to pull together disparate data sources, transform data when needed, push the data to downstream TIBCO products (ex: Clarity, EBX), ingest the data into an on-premise data warehouse, and reflect the data back to end users.
- User interface is straight-forward and easy.
- Ability to connect to data sources is not difficult.
- Implementation has been seamless.
- Setup of security is difficult within the tool, as there are nuances.
It is being used by our IT team and it helps to make access to data faster as well to integrate different databases.
- Help in reusing data easily.
- Help in integrating different databases.
- Allows for more time to analyze the data.
- A cleaner interface.
- More clarifications or help options.

We resell this software but in most cases we actively use on customer's behalf. That means creating content for customer's end users who consume that from TDV.
- Fast federated queries from different data sources.
- Optimization of data queries from different data sources.
- Linkage of data flow.
- A little bit obsolete design of UI.

TIBCO is being used by the analyst team in our organization. Currently, we have data in multiple sources. We are using TIBCO Data Virtualization to connect to all different data sources and queries against the different data sources. We didn't go with the traditional method of data warehousing, because we didn't want to duplicate the data, so we started using TIBCO Data Virtualization to avoid duplication.
- Reduce duplication of data
- Easy to use and run queries on different data sources
- It is versatile but it also makes it quite complex if you haven't already thought it out fully before you start writing the views.
- Performance is highly dependent on queries used

Cloetta’s data was mainly stored in an enterprise data warehouse (EDW). The time needed to make new data available for reporting through the EDW was relatively long. Local and external data comes in high volumes, is scattered in many parts or objects, and is unstructured. The business expects a fast time to solution, thus eventually data needs to be retrieved in real time.
The business was manually creating reports, which was time consuming, inefficient, exposed to errors, and sometimes impossible due to large amounts of data. Data and reports were not readily available for everyone who needed them.
Cloetta wanted to find a way to combine global, local, internal, and external data into one comprehensive report. The limited number of users on some of these reports required that any solution be cost-efficient.
- Faster Time to Solution
- We can combine new data that we made available through data virtualization with the data that we had before in the enterprise data warehouse. It’s a strong combination.
- No integrated version management and no possibility for tem based development (with check-out and check-in)
- Performance, more out of the box query optimization
- 'Type ahead' and auto correction / detection of table and field names on script is not there, so requires ot of maual / textual work

We have been involved with reselling and implementing TIBCO Data Virtualization since 2014, when it was still owned by Cisco. Since November 2017 we have been reselling and implementing TIBCO Data Virtualization under the new TIBCO partnership. Numerous organizations, all with challenges around data management and analytics (complex data engineering, replication of data getting out of control, compliance and regulations that cannot be met anymore and long time-to-market for Analytical solutions as data is not easy to find, integrate, enrich and use), selected TIBCO Data Virtualization to make any data available, in a secure, fast and flexible way, for analytics. While leveraging the existing data solutions like data warehouses, data lakes and data services. The virtual layers approach makes it very easy to make any data available in any form or structure that is needed. The API-interface makes it possible to integrate TIBCO Data Virtualization in an existing data architecture.
- Rich data connectivity and intelligent analysis to discover explicit and implicit relations between data in various sources.
- Intelligent and rich query optimization algorithms to minimize pressure on source systems and make use of the performance enhancements capabilities of the source systems.
- There is one version of the TDV- tool that holds all functionality. No additional licenses needed, everything is included.
- MPP-functionality (TDV 8.0.0) makes automatic query distribution over large (big data) clusters possible and guarantees very high performance with querying 100's of millions of rows.
- The TDV Studio application combines the use of ANSI-SQL (you can script for more complex tasks) with a graphical user interface for modeling the data layers, both supporting fast development of data and web services. TDV Server is a complete package with all the enterprise grade functionality an organization may need.
- We would love to see an upgrade of the general look-and-feel of the user interface.
It is used across the organization mainly to manage reporting security, where TDV is providing its best native functionality and ease of implementing
- Security
- Flexibility
- Access to multiple data sources
- SSO user identification and mapping
- enable logging at user/Query level
- Purging idle sessions functionality
Currently being used by a department but with the goal to take it company wide. Our current architecture map includes a vast set of databases with specific audiences. Having all these in one place to manage would make my group's life easier.
- Group multiple data clusters together
- Have a common point of access for information
- Ease of system maintenance
- User friendliness
- Data cleansing features
- Collaboration

It combines different data sources into a single virtual layer and multiple databases can be integrated into a single business customized application. It promotes easy data access and management and it helps in minimizing costs by not having items that you won't need.
- For insurance companies, it is easy to link the client's bank account with the insurance company database
- Service Level Agreements such as product licenses can be linked with the companies employee databases
- Helpdesk Systems are easy to manage since one interface can provide information from multiple company databases that are related to a single account
- Sales and Marketing departments can make an assessment of their penetration level and environmental analysis
- Hospitals need Databases if the client has gone through multiple specialists and I think it'll be better if you add specialized platforms that are on centered for the health industry
- Businesses that are in partnership need to share resources and Accounting information e.g software development,
- Manufacturing industries to administer environmental climate changes in business analysis

Allows integration of data sources of various types from different departments, so that it can be accessed without actual retrieval of data.
- Drag and drop feature.
- The large variety of data source adapters.
- Works with Spotfire for analytics.
- Cost.
- Sometimes not as easy to deploy as expected.

It is used within several departments and supports several use cases. It's also used asa real-time federated query engine. Another operation - periodically refreshed cache, primarily database-based cache. It is also used for prototyping in ETL projects. It is also used for provisioning of data from systems of record, systems of origin and other authorized data sources to downstream applications and data marts.
- Scales out horizontally and vertically to support federated queries against growing data volumes
- Integrates well with BI/Reporting technologies like Tableau and MicroStrategy
- Supports a wide range of data sources, including relational, no-SQL, message queues/streaming, and big data
- No very robust metadata and data lineage support
- Poor integration with data modeling tools, for forward- and reverse-engineering
- Response times are not always consistent and adequate in real-time queries
