Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO BusinessWorks

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's being used enterprise-wide. It integrated all the core and non-core systems in our organization.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Solutions built with BusinessWorks are flexible
Learning curve is not too steep
Seamless integration, development, testing and deployment
Reduce time to market for any deliverable

Cons

I would like the design time to improve and match that of the designer. The newer versions are getting better.
Would like to have web app development and deployment possible through BusinessWorks design time like we had with AMSG.

Training Types Used

Online training
In-person training
Self-taught

The impact of the training was positive.

Return on Investment

The licensing cost is on the higher side which does become a pain at times while doing budget negotiations for a project
The whole enterprise is well aligned on the use of BusinessWorks

Alternatives Considered

BusinessWorks is way ahead of the Microsoft SSIS.

When workflows come into the project then it's less effective as we have to depend on the BPM product. It would be good if everything can be integrated into one as the licensing costs of maintaining all of it is huge. It's well suited for any integration, the variety of connectors and adapters it has makes it easier to integrate with any system.
