Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks

TIBCO BusinessWorks is being used by IT division for application integration at Denver Water Utilities.

Pros

  • Application data Integration batch/real-time
  • Web service
  • Very quick time to market and ROI. Development time is very fast.

Cons

  • Migration to BusinessWorks 6 from BusinessWorks 5 is a real challenge to date.
  • As Rest services take a lot of space nowadays BusinesWorks 5 should include a rest plugin by default. Customers are not willing to pay extra for that.
  • Another thing is SFTP. BusinessWorks must include SFTP activity as well in version 5.
  • JDBC Query, or update or SQL direct should have the place to use multiple JDBC connections dynamically. For example, if I have multiple databases that have the same table structure to query, I want to write a single JDBC query and loop through different databases. Currently I'm achieving that using Java code (extra coding effort, extra time consuming).
  • Development time is reduced due to time to market being fast
  • Very Very positive impact as BusinessWorks is extensively being used within my organization.
Mulesoft, Oracle SOA and WSO2
[Well suited for] Day to day business integrations mostly for all different organizations. TIBCO BusinessWorks can implement any functionality in very little amount of time.

But migrating from BusinessWorks5 to BusinessWorks6 is still a pain area. The migration tool still needs to be made more effective or else moving to the cloud (BWCE) will be tough for customers.
