Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessEvents

TIBCO BusinessEvents (BE) is used in multiple business applications as well as gateway implementations at Western Union. It is used to receive, transform and handle events/transactions in real-time. Business users are provided with the capability of making and changing rules dynamically using BE based applications. Since every transaction in the company deals directly with funds every application plays a critical role.
  • Business users have the capability of changing rules dynamically without downtime in the application.
  • Real-time processing capability decreases latency and increases the efficiency of the features developed in TIBCO BE.
  • Capability of caching the data as well as managing it as an independent entity as TIBCO Active Spaces is a huge addition.
  • TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio for altering the decision tables/rules can be made more robust and production ready.
  • TIBCO BusinessEvents views can be made more robust. This will avoid additional BI layers on top of the data.
  • Event Stream Processing and Pattern Matching add-on of TIBCO BE is an awesome feature. It can be made more robust by implementing machine learning and deep learning.
  • Self-taught
I learned BE in 2011 by myself. It took time for me to understand the point of view of a Complex Event Processing application, but soon I started relating and analyzing the problems in real world that can be effectively and efficiently solved using TIBCO BE as a CEP solution. Having learnt the application from scratch, I was able to train and help a number of my colleagues.
  • Positive : Real-time event stream processing helps handle transactions very efficiently.
  • Negative : Earlier versions of BE (5.0 & 5.1) had major issues in data handling in cache that impacted the data integrity of the application.
  • Positive : Decision Tables are a huge plus in TIBCO BE.
TIBCO BE helped us by having all the required capabilities packaged within one product which is very descriptive in the documentation.
  • Real-time processing.
  • Event Streaming.
  • In-memory computing.
  • Dynamic rules.
  • BRMS.
