Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks
TIBCO BusinessWorks has been used since my current company was opened. We adopt the best practice of the industry for Telecommunication, especially from TM Forum standard. The necessity for integration is mandatory for the Telco company. Especially when we as a company must follow ESB implementation. With TIBCO BW, the company can provide the integration project ready to be used and shorten the time to market process.
The capability of this software to sync the real data across multiple network elements is one of the key factors. Another success story is the API Management feature that provides convenience for configurable parameters and eases to maintain. In terms of performance, it is proven to be powerful.

Therefore, a specific business case will have a big impact on the understanding of the whole team, including the Architect and Commercial Department.

Especially with the support from TIBCO services that available 24 x 5 for any trouble ticket or escalation issues. This is one of the key drivers to maintain customer satisfaction.
Works like charm. Very recommended. It has a very detailed guide to designing the integration points between multiple systems. Moreover, this product also supports different option and methods for the integration. So, the user will have many ranges of the choices to implement and apply it. The out-of-the-box capability is great.

In my point of view, the TIBCO BusinessWorks still better than the similar products and software in the market. The strongest point is the out-of-the-box features and functionalities to support multi-vendor integration and multiple points. The product documentation also one of the important point that the product owner or software company support their customers.
