Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks

BW is used by our mobile company (BASE) as middleware. The IT enabling layer or service enablement layer built on BW hosts services that help to integrate channels with backend systems. It addresses the issue of point to point integration and promotes reusability based on SOA principles.

Pros

  • Ease of process design
  • Ease of runtime parameters configuration
  • Ease of operational manageability

Cons

  • The quality of TIBCO support has deteriorated in the last few years
  • Huge differences between 5.x and 6.x
  • Slower cycle of incorporating changes and bug fixes
  • Ease of process design implies lesser investment on resources
  • Stability with AMX Service Grid was a huge issue to keep business continuity, most of the SRs remained unresolved and led to delays
  • New licencing model requires huge OPEX cost
Have used Oracle, JBOSS products, however I would not like to comment as each product has its own pros and cons. Also note that cost is a major driver for the success of a product.
Suited in scenarios where:
(1) there is a need to expose a service over several transport protocols
(2) higher number of/complex data mapping is required
(3) ease of messaging configurations is a requirement
(4) wait and notification capability is required
