Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tibco BusinessWorks is being used by the department BPM and integration services of my organization. The business problems that it addresses concern development about financial services. We use BusinessWorks for the logic of back-end, JDBC query or stored procedures, Java methods, batch processes, and to communicate with other systems using software architecture REST or SOAP.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It works very well with file XML and WSDL, that is easy to use for everyone.
It implements Java functions that permit to gain some time respect the java code.
With the administrator you can manage the developed part configuring the machine and the global variable without putting your hand back on the code.

Cons

The palette of stored procedures: it is better if one did not have to render the results with DB oracle
Simple functionality necessitates plugins that are more expensive
Make it easier to use part of the grousing and coercion, however it's good as is.

Return on Investment

The positive impact is that use of this product has allowed me to find work
I can improve my knowledge of the product, or other products by TIBCO.
I have less time to learn other application/product.

Alternatives Considered

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, TIBCO ActiveSpaces and TIBCO BusinessEvents

Because is more specific for the project where I work. Other product have proved less efficient for use.

Likelihood to Recommend

TIBCO BusinessWorks is good for developing the logic of the back-end of a site or a web service. You can use it for an important site or web application that allows execution of heavy functions. Or, you can use it to develop batch processes in a very simple way. It is less appropriate if you want to develop a site with little logic of BE.
