Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessEvents

We Use Business Events Rule Engine in regards with Fraud Detection use cases. Various rules built and deployed to identify fraud across different channels. We use Web Studio to author most of the rules that are executed by BE Engine. ActiveSpaces used as a caching mechanism between BE and Backing Store.
  • Optimized Rules engine
  • Extremely efficient decision tables
  • Web based rules authoring tools
  • Not so easy hot deployment
  • Web Based tool lacks some features needed in Rules Authoring
  • Does not work well with public cloud vendors, e.g. not easy way to run BE and AS with ECS on Amazon Web Services
  • Self-taught
Most of the staff was able to train themselves using tibco BE.
  • BE is well suited for our on-prem fraud detection capabilities
  • Total ecosystem around BE makes the implementation expensive. such as EMS, Admin, HAWK etc.
I was not part of evaluation of the products in this space in my organization. But I feel BE is better in terms of RIO if compared with some commercial products from Orcle, IBM and SAP.

I strongly feel difficulty in using cloud native features is one big shortcoming in current product offering. This will tend customer like us to explore options that are well suited with ur cloud first vision.
Business Events is well suited for medium to complex use cases involving complex event processing. BE is useful in areas where Buisness Owners want to actually implement business rules defined by designers/developers. BE is well suited where Busieness Rules/ Thresholds change frequently; BE's hot deployment capabilities can be utilized for such scenarios. BE is very well suited for on premise deployments.

BE is not very well suited for Cloud native solutions. Specifically when it uses embedded ActiveSpaces as in memory cache.
