Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks
Tibco is used to implement interfaces among different systems in different departments.
- 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.
- 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.
It is a good tool. It is a hard at the beginning because there are a lot of new concepts involve that are not in other tools.
Error handling is not good enough. It requires a person to know and handle xml very well.
Training is kind of expensive. Getting contract people in this tool is also hard to find and usually it is more expensive.
I think this tool is good only for middle-tier to large companies, but not for small companies.
The set of tools are really very good for most of the interfaces.
Error handling is not good in TIBCO Business Works. The errors are most of the time very general and it does not tell you the problem itself. It requires a trace in the tool itself to find out what the error means and what data is wrong or missing.
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.
