Tibco BW process, a good combination with EMS (JMS)
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks
BW Processes, in conjunction with EMS (Enterprise Messaging Service) are the critical components of our ESB application through the Federal Agency we are supporting.
Pros
- BW uses its own JVM container, which is highly scalable and portable
- BW is very configurable and high performing
- BW is very analogous to the microservice implementation concept and smaller in foot print than the typical J2EE app server containers
Cons
- Startup time when instrumented with JVM monitoring software
- XML-based configuration is great for separation of logic with TRA run time, but the parsing and traversing could be time consuming.
- In-person training
Training available via Tibco, not open source.
- COTS product, reliable, superior support from Tibco support and PSG (Tibco Professional Service Group)
- Good investment with mission critical enterprise infrastructure and apps
- Could be pricy in licensing and maintenance cost
Tibco BW is uses its own JVM container to implement java-based multi-threaded application server. It could be implemented in a smaller footprint, microservice-like as well as monolithic way with traditional SOA artifacts. It is robust and high performing.
