Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks

In our organization, my team manages TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks for many years for a good number of integration projects. It allows you to quickly and easily connect applications, with reliability and scalability. Our integration platform is made up of thousands of processes of every kind type (eg. finance, banking, assurance, energy, doc manage, etc..). We are also responsible for maintenance and updates. If the integration platform is easy to use, The project will be more scalable.

Pros

  • Ease of use—Integration activities
  • Short deployment Processes
  • Scalability and extensibility of Projects
  • Drag-and-drop graphical development environment

Cons

  • Energy and Utilities area: we faced situations to respond an increasing demand, and through TIBCO BusinessWorks we reduced costs and job time.
  • Bank Area: through TIBCO BusinessWorks we connected and unified banking business processes across applications and data sources.
  • Finance Area: The integration project was ready to go to production within a realistic timeframe and deploying from development to a running project went smoothly.
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
I've learned by myself TIBCO BusinessWorks with helps from my expert colleagues. I sincerely
advise you to attend a course before or while learning this technology
as it can help you familiarize yourself with some of the most useful
tools for developing Business Work processes, such as File and Database Adapter.
  • Scalability and extensibility
  • Reduced Development Timing
I've never used something like TIBCO BusinessWorks. I just use TIBCO BusinessWorks v5.x and TIBCO BusinessWorks v6.x. The versions I used are slightly different, but the base concept are the same.
Short deployment cycle processes are the best choice for an integration project for lots of reasons. Through TIBCO. BusinessWorks you could connect process to Database or simply Soap Request so the project will be flexible and adaptable and you can potentially adapt it to multiple activities. Of course, it is not used for long deployment running processes (see TIBCO. Active Matrix).


Innovation, Integration and Support

For creating new process, you have lots of palettes to do every develop you need.
For created process it is easy to understand even if you have ever seen before it. You can analyze your process in all their detail.
User Experience is positive for beginner and expertise people.
Just debug mode is still raw, but better in TIBCO BusinessWorks 6.x than TIBCO BusinessWorks 5.x .
Integration was the most principal part of our projects and development. We use TIBCO Business Works as a medium to integrate Database, Web Service, Java Application, Stand Alone Application, and other Tibco products, one overall Tibco Business Process Model. The available palettes help developers in every situations faced.
