Considering our experience is mostly based on TIBCO Messaging, the fact of having been using and choosing it for over 15 years now surely means something. It is not just that it works well on point-to-point persistent integrations, but its implementation of topics allows a distributed integration to be achieved as well, always with very low latency.

Despite some old features, it is very robust for a 24/7 uptime needed application. Factory automation continuity is a critical part of our site. Moreover there are lot of applications that must talk to each other and so integration is a key point. With Tibco Enterprise Message Service the environment can be very flexible and robust. It is very important to plan the architecture of the configuration well by deciding on standards that are shared among all developers so that we have reference points during development and especially in case of debugging or problems.

As previously said, TIBCO Messaging is the most appropriate way to make proper communication between TIBCO BusinessWorks and TIBCO Active Matrix BPM. Native communication easy setup, managing high volumes and allowing easy error recoverability. Moreover TIBCO Messaging is able to manage Multi protocol messages integration to concentrate data in a single channel

For organizations which require integration capabilities for sync or async type of solutions and performance is crucial, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is a good option. Also in cases where the solution requires that if the consumer goes down, upon coming back up the transaction should not be lose, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service will persist messages to the queue out of the box and no need for development effort there either. TIBCO Enterprise Message Service also provides for consumer and provider to be independent of each other by placing a messaging broker in the middle. This is a well accepted integration pattern

We use the EMS for solving the Synchronous ad Asynchronous messaging models. This helps us to resolve our messaging challenges, which helps us to achieve the optimal solution for the integration techniques. EMS provides us the capability to deal with messaging models securely, effortlessly. EMS can be integrated with multiple tools and technologies and easily monitored and configured as per the requirement. It also comes as a high availability architecture to refrain from any unprecedented downtimes.

You can use it as the bus between different applications, you can delegate to it to maintain the message during the stop/start procedure on the applications side. You can take easy count on message exchanged, and queues size. It's not ok for distributed applications when you want to send a broadcast message or asynchronous messages.

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.

TIBCO EMS is best where several separate applications all feed into a central repository or server as it allows communication between apps and services. It also offers asynchronous processing capabilities and all this made it possible for us to build an environment that could work offline or during downtime and then synchronise our workloads later when we are back up online. It is well suited for huge enterprises because it scales so well. It provides reliability making it very suitable for mission-critical apps that need assured delivery (as in our case) however this delivery is not necessarily real-time.

It is very suitable to transfer the "master data events" among event-driven applications, and when the data is "passing-by" only and there is no need to "reprocess the data". But if more advanced data streaming is required and data re-fetching is required, then you should go to Kafka. And also it is too heavy for IPC (components within the same application) communication.

Anything offered as an appliance is usually difficult to work with and very proprietary. We find more widely-used competitors like RabbitMQ nearly as good. JMS as a standard kind of failed since it didn't dictate the wire format, and this is why we are moving away from EMS at this point.

It does the job, but in the end, we do not identify so many differences compared with MQ Series for example.
I would say it's perfect for huge amount of messages, rather than a small size. It's complex to move into the backup cluster. For us, it's a problem mainly when the situation requires an urgent fix.

High volume transactions where you have business critical applications . Examples are financial data which is critical for the end customers ,huge volume for Orders in retail which can be efficiently supported . If you have data across global regions , then EMS is very efficient to send data across all data centers.

Well suited in traditional service-oriented architecture style systems. EMS is TIBCO's implementation of a JMS broker which per definition is Java-based. Less appropriate if you want to go cloud-native. For high availability, EMS needs a specific shared store that meets TIBCO's quality requirements. AWS and Azure are supported though.

Tibco Enterprise Message Service is well suited in an environment requiring fast and reliable messaging services. Easy to install and configure. The system is also very stable, with very minimal to little period of downtime. However, there is no out of the box monitoring available for Tibco Enterprise Message Service.

Within a full TIBCO environment, EMS integrates very well with other components.
In case of messaging pattern requirements, EMS can fits most of technical challenges especially for small messages.

It is highly recommended to not use EMS in case of batch transfers, especially when we want to exchange big content (i.e. file content).
EMS can be a bottleneck and must be recovered quickly if we don't want to loose messages (i.e. subscriber down on a queue).

[It's well suited] In a situation where big data will be involved and multiple EAIs or APIs are being used. For example in a retail industry where data is being shared across all the different departmental units and also with the online systems and various databases. It's also useful where data needs to be shared across multiple sites.

TIBCO EMS is very well suited to be used with TIBCO BusinessWorks as a messaging server. Messages are kept in queues or topics and are not lost until consumers connect. There are many acknowledgment modes. TIBCO EMS is not well suited to use when we have a huge volume of data to transport.

Tibco EMS is well suited in situations where the application can benefit from asynchronous processing. It is not suite for synchronous request/response. It is not suited for permanent storage, as all messages in the JMS topic/queue are supposed to be transitory in nature.

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is well suited when you must exchange many metadatas between multiple servers on a platform. The routing functionalities and others are very good for that. The security functionalities are up to date with the last security standards of the IT world. The load balancing is good too.
