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.

TIBCO is a very expensive tool. It needs a lot of servers with lot of resources to work well. Training is also expensive.
