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.
EMS and BW go together nicely
