Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks
It is used as middleware for IT projects based on EAI and SOA architecture. The company uses it across different department located in different countries. It's used as a common platform to build up services in order to integrate different IT departments
- As a middleware, it can be integrate with different IT technologies
- It offers a design-time platform that helps customers to build up services and process really fast
- The runtime offers a easy deployment and scalability of EARs
- BW 6 is still young product and it suffers in stability
- The TEA doesn't offer the flexibility to manage the bw 6 applications
- BW 6 design time platform is not stable and fast as it was the designer for BW5
- Online training
- Self-taught
During my training I was quite surprised about the speed of the learning process on using the business works because of the development interface is very user-friendly
- Thanks to the easy way of using the products I could spend more time on studying generic concepts and cases of use of the products more than focusing on how it works
- From a business perspective the markets offered a lot of job opportunities with good remuneration
- TIBCO support was one of the strategic forces of the product, but the quality of the new BW6 and it's related support has decreased in the last year so customers start looking for different solutions
The efficiency and reliability of BW5 is still quite good even if the product requires a new approach for the customers' needs. BW6 was born to cover this gap but it doesn't satisfy the customer expectations. On the other hand, other competitors cannot offer a solution that covers runtime, design time and a dedicated support solution at same time as TIBCO can
TIBCO BW graphical interface is really easy to use and quite intuitive. Any kind of developer can easily do all kind of required mapping with a small knowledge of XML and xpath.
The concept of TIBCO Designer is to make it easy for testing the processes and services at debug time.
- java
TIBCO BusinessWorks offers design time tools with easy graphical interface that doesn't require a deep knowledge of any kind of IT language
