Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks

The use of the TIBCO BusinessWorks I do is for multiple customers, and only in a particular industry of these companies, I work for. One of the problems that can be encountered is the difficulty of migration from BW 5. X to BW 6. X, which does not have optimal backward compatibility.
  • Easy programming
  • Code reuse
  • Well documented
  • Extending the choice of adapter
  • Multilanguage being
  • Create a plugin for automatic job creation
  • Self-taught
It took just one week of studying the BusinessWorks Tibco and Tibco Administrator tools, accompanied by a week of exercises covering all the possible chapters concerning programming, installation of tools, package creation and deploying, installation maintenance and error management. Obviously, the practice and prolonged use of the product has reinforced and improved the knowledge acquired.
  • Increased demand for work
  • Confirmed alliance with other companies
The efficiency of management of the creation time given by TIBCO BusinessWorks is related to the way in which one implements it. TIBCO offers an Ambio stack of products to help you in such things as TIBCO Spotfire. This implies the need to have a knowledge of a part of the TIBCO products, but they helped work to be done enormously.
Tibco offers a very powerful tool for mapping data between systems. This is done thanks to a very intuitive and powerful interface with the possibility of using functions such as For-each, group-by or copy-of that facilitate all operations of manipulation of data to be mapped also thanks to the Xpath functions.
The level of difficulty in testing a tibco flow is relatively low because Tibco offers the Tester function within the Designer package. The Tester function shows how the flow takes a certain direction by visually showing and colouring in green or red the transition that follows the process and colouring the activities that are correctly processed or making them turn red if they raise some errors.
The strong point of TIBCO BusinessWorks is to be a very strong middleware. Useful for integration between heterogeneous systems that need to communicate with each other. It is important to create republication processes through JMS or RV protocols (proposing a protocol of TIBCO). In a scenario where you want to bring processes to the cloud, RV usage is impossible and this is an unfavorable point.
