Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks

I work for largest US telecom client of HCL. TIBCO BW is used as EAI/SOA layer and is in production from past 10 years. At this time I am leading the effort of migration from BW 5.x to CE. Same use case is presented in TIBCO NOW.

Pros

  • Ease of learn and use and maintain.
  • Easy to understand business process as icons are UML based, this helps BA's and business users to do quick review if needed.
  • Tested and proven, used by many industries (telecom, banking and logistics etc.)
  • Speed of development and defect fixing is fast, which reduces time to market.

Cons

  • The tool is good but takes more memory, in other words, a bit heavy.
  • BWCE ide is based on eclipse, it would have better if TIBCO could have continued with old designer.
  • Time to market has improved.
  • Initial stages it was an issue to get skilled people, now availability is good. Many people are in the market.
TIBCO BW is good in heavy lifting and complex orchestration, also performance wise it beats other competitors. Coupled with this, excellent customer support .
When the need is just addition of security layer BW is not the tool, like pass through proxy with some security.

BW is best suited when you need to do heavy lifting, complex business processing etc. Heavy transactions.

    Hello Mahesh, Thank you for: - the positive feedback and the score! - the collaboration in making the client successful in their Digital Transformation - it’s been really a pleasure working with you and your awesome team on this project. Re. memory - I assume you mean on the BusinessStudio front, there have been tremendous improvements in the BWCE 2.3.1 version you’re using and they’re more coming up in the next release, am sure you’d acknowledge this point! If there are more queries, feel free to shoot me an email! Thank you again for your co-operation. Let’s get the current client through and there are more to follow! :) Best, -Hitesh
