Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks
We use TIBCO BusinessWorks 5.12 to support various supply chain, engineering, finance needs of ASML by providing REST, SOAP based web services, using application adapters, database adapters etc. More and more departments see the advantages of aligning with TIBCO within the ASML as it gives a high ROI with small TAT.
- B2B connectivity possible via wide use of protocols as plugins and also possible from warehouses worldwide which send data via RFID agents.
- Excellent SOAP services support and rapidly evolving REST services thus caters to both ease vs security aspects of APIs/ services.
- Best suite for EAI when it comes to 2k applications.
- Cloud interaction is not that well explored while using Tibco BusinessWorks, BC and adapters etc.
- Cost of ELA could be a concern for small and midcap [companies] can go for alternatives like Mule, Kafka, Dell Boomi but TIBCO being there for 25 odd years is the best bet.
- Constant upgrades mean that there's a limited lifecycle of your TIBCO stack outside which the products will not be supported causing you to set aside budget for LCM every year.
- Scalable and adaptive.
- Community is huge and vendor support is quick but sometimes needs pressing to provide an alternative to buying the next version of the product.
- Covers almost all needs of organization and businesses.
- Not explored compatibility with predictive tooling.
[It's the] Best tool you can lay your hands on especially when dealing with XML & ISO standards. It supports many other industry standards but best is supportive of XML protocols.
Can be integrated with UFT, RTW, SoapUI, Selenium, QTP, Jmeter etc., but if you want to create regression tests and suites then it's best [to use a] Greenhat tester which is now IBM RTW.
