Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe)

Tibco Business Work is used to build integration layers based on SOA principles.

Main scenario: Integrate internal source systems based on different technologies with SAP C4C CRM. An event based architecture was built using an In-Only pattern based on XML over JMS. Soap over http services exposed by SAP were easily consumed using the out of the box functionality of the product.
The integration layer was built defining a Canonical Data Model to reduce the number of transformations and simplify the code maintenance.

Pros

  • Easy web service development (REST & SOAP)
  • Easy mapping transformations : XML/JSON, XPATH
  • Management of run-time entities
  • Simple deployment
  • Many adapters available
  • One IDE for 3 different runtimes (On Premises, Container, Cloud)

Cons

  • Improve Business Studio stability
  • Not my area of expertise
  • Data Transformation
  • Service implementation
  • Orchestration
Tibco Ems functionalities available using the out of the box JMS activities of Tibco BusinessWorks.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
  • Self-taught
It's well suited for different design solutions, like :
1) Event based architectures based on XML over JMS
2) Synchronus services implementation based on SOA with SOAP
3) REST stateless rest services
4)Implementation of transformations patterns
5)Microservices development

TIBCO Cloud Capabilities

Yes - Followed API first approach :
