Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks
We use BusinessWorks to transform bus transmitter data from buses and analyse metrics like ETA , stop identification, number of passengers boarding and alighting. This is used by one department.
Other problems addressed are off-route identification, passenger count per bus,
- Good tool with useful built-in logic which saves a lot of time
- It has its own messaging systems such as EMS and AS
- Easy problem management/identification. TIBCO support is very helpful
- Migration/upgrade of software is easy.
- Big data parsing takes too much time when implemented in JAVA. Example : JsontoXML parsing
- SFTP in TIBCO BusinessWorks has some issues: Delete doesn't work and timeout can not be set as global variable, and sometimes consecutive sftp connections also cause process hanging.
- Active Space connection set as secured channel doesn't allow global variable for some parameters
- This has a good ROI.
We used BusinessWorks to send data to Active Spaces from which TIBCO Streambase helps in displaying data in real time on a map.
Unfortunately, I don't have any hands-on experience with other integration technologies, but we do achieve decent performance in the time agreed with the customer using TIBCO.
The mapping capabilities of TIBCO BusinessWorks are very strong it has faster execution time too.
Testing Integration flows in BusinessWorks is easier and the BusinessWorks administrator also provides a good level of verification compared to others.
TIBCO BusinessWorks is more user friendly compared to other tools
