TIBCO tool is good for middle and big companies
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks
Tibco is used to implement interfaces among different systems in different departments.
Pros
- It works very well between SAP and other systems that cannot talk directly to SAP.
- It can help us to increase/reduce the number of interfaces running at the same time and balancing the load between different servers in different places.
Cons
- Programming is harder at the beginning since there are a lot of new concepts and tools.
- The programmer needs to know how to handle xml and how to transform it.
- Handling errors is not good compared with other environments. The product still needs to improve in this area.
- Tibco has been a good tool here. It helped to do a lot of interfaces (about 170).
- Price of the tool is very expensive.
Comparing TIBCO with Visual Studio environment, VS is easier, very cheap, no need of servers with lot of resources to run simple interfaces, a lot of documentation, very cheap training. Nice handling of errors.
TIBCO BW wins though in load balancing, multi-threaded applications, and using queues to process messages.
