Data Virtualization ... Evolution or Revolution
- Performance (Data Cache keeps a live "copy" of our data)
- Common data model design for Business and IT(improve data governance)
- Faster Implementation(time-to-market)
- Secure (systems not exposed)
- Resilience (support several scenarios simultaneous - online data vs cache data)
- Studio User interface more modern
- Messaging (Kafka, Pulsar,...) adapter out-of-the-box without the need to buy additional software

A robust data virtualization
- Fast and effective data processing.
- Robust connection to multiple data sources.
- It has a user interface that guarantees compliance with business goals due to how easy it is to execute all functions.
- The price can be very expensive in the initial stage of implementation and can be very high risk, but everything is positive after implementation.

A short journey with a pricey tech
- It has ability to connect to a variety of platforms
- It offers a central management console for admins accessible on web browser
- It abstracts the complexity of ETLs from the end users of data who consume it to drive decision making.
- TIBCO Data Virtualization does not offer out of the box it's own caching layer. It has to be augmented with some other database technology to cache data for efficient querying.
- TIBCO Data Virtualization is very tedious to maintain when it comes to managing granular permissions on objects and artifacts.
- TIBCO Data Virtualization by default tends to process the data in its own server memory instead of delegating it to the backend systems where data comes from. This sometimes leads to a server crash if not handled properly.

Swiss Knife for data Integration.
- Drivers to access multiple data souces
- Needs a bit of learning curve but Joining different sources
- Exposing the data as REST API
- Memory management can be better.
- In a 2 node cluster, the timekeeper does not share much load. we need to scale it to multiple nodes to take advantage of the cluster.
- The IDE for TDV Development can improve a lot

Good value for money
- Visualize data
- Pulls from disparate sources
- Integration with other existing eco systems
- Ease of installation
- process, reshape data, allows many operations like pivot, unpivot, change column names etc.
- interactive interface
- variety of visualization provided
- option of sharing on web or download as file
- data canvas to understand relationship among data tables and edit processes
- interface: the filters - can be a hassle when many tables in the
- color scheme: not be able to save or customize
- export image can't define the size of output
- can't define the base scheme color e.g. axis, ticks, current default is too light, difficult to see in Powerpoint.

Great Data Management Tool But a Bit Pricey
- Use different data repositories in one solution.
- Use of analytics tools by end users.
- Use of SQL so users don't have to learn a new scripting language.
- Unable to find a way to run a scheduled report to be saved to another location.
- High cost compared to other solutions.
- Tool is a bit difficult to learn.

Data and Challenges of Data
- Connecting to different data silos and presenting the data as a singled unified layer of data.
- Exposing data to Technical and non technical users through Web UI or reporting tools
- Secured exposure of data as web services.
- Row level and column level data security
- Multi tenancy data security.
- Real time data by connecting to the operational databases
- Historical data generation
- Data Catalog feature can be improved where User can also connect to external data which is not part of the Tibco DV so when required User can analyze the external data with Tibco DV Data
- Data Discovery can also be improved where relationship between tables should automatically generated by doing sample profiling of the data.
- For better governance of data using other tibco tools like ebx , bw , spotfire there should be adapters available which can be used to communicate with other tibco tools.
December 14, 2022
Best tool for data integration and migration
- API Management
- Performance metrics
- Process Automation
- More connectors should be available for free
- UI should be improved on releases
- In-buit unit testing connectors should be invented

TIBCO Data Virtualization Review
- Manage data.
- Generate reports.
- Search data.
- Responsiveness.
- Performance.
- User experience.
- Data throughput.
- Multitude of connectivity options to published datasources (JDBC, ODBC, REST, SOAP...).
- Performance of TDV Studio (its own IDE) is poor.
- Performance of TDV repository database is rather poor for larger numbers of objects .(Note: We have approx. 9tsd objects introspected in TDV and approx. 20tsd objects generated in upper DV layers.)
- Propagation of privileges to parent/child dependencies does not work when applying recursively on a folder. (It's a huge setback when working with large number of objects organized semantically into subfolders.)
- Lack of command line client interface for scripting at the time of version 8.4 (I had to write my own CLI.)
- TDV Studio does an absolutely horrible job with its own code editors when indentation is in place. Also, the editor is brutally slow and feature-poor.
- Tracking privileges on the level of table/view columns causes occasional problems when regranting.
- TDV's stored programs ("SQL scripts" in their own terminology) compiler leaves out many syntactic and semantic checks, making them hugely prone to run-time errors.
- TDV Server's REST API is a very poor (in terms of features) and flawed cousin to its SOAP API (at the time of version 8.4).
- Merges different data sources
- simplifies access to data
- unifies user base management
- leverage advanced database operations
- hadoop access
- performance
- Security & Governance of the data.
- Sophisticated/advanced query engines.
- Data orchestrations.
- Higher learning curve.
- Pricing is high.
- Initial setup is slightly cumbersome.

TIBCO is good….depends on your purpose
- It has many type of data sources to connect to.
- You can drag and drop connection between table(s).
- Easy visual of the data.
- Easy to use.
- Will be good to have KPIs to view data.
- The UI looks like management studio….maybe a different look and feel.
- Be able to create custom calculation.
