Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Data Virtualization

TIBCO Data Virtualization is the best product for a BI platform for small companies. It is a very basic reporting platform given data inputs in standard formats. It helps us create reports and standardize our data entry. It is also very user-friendly and helps us get integrated to multiple sources so we can do quick reporting.
  • Integrations with sources.
  • Ease of use.
  • Very customizable in terms of output formats.
  • Cost management.
  • Very limited functionalities for charting, dashboards, intuitive reports.
  • A complete reporting project takes longer time.
  • Creates static reports and if you'd like to create interactive reports, that won't be possible.
  • Cost management.
  • Reduce time to market.
  • Drive revenue growth.
Very versatile and user-friendly software that allows you to deploy results quickly, on the fly even. Data transparency and business efficiency are improved tremendously, without the need for an extensive training program or course. Snowflake, Tableau, and Yellowfin are better options for bigger organizations that require more customizations to data.
The customer service is good for this product. They are able to help where you get stuck, but as in many companies, there is a delay in support. There is a lot of documentation available. The implementation process was smooth as well as the handoff to support was good as well.
TIBCO lives up to expectations with this product. The forms and the web pages are customizable to a great extent. Data visualization is something that easily grabs attention. Also the Tech support is pretty good as well. This was earlier Cisco federation, now TIBCO Data Virtualization is really good when you don't want to migrate data to another system but want to directly use the data from another db. We are using in combination with Greenplum and Db2.
It would depend on the depth of their analytics team. Because competitors have some predetermined analytics tools, especially for marketing, there are some disadvantages in TIBCO. However, an analytics user will appreciate the data flexibility and underlying power in Data Virtualization.

If you are looking for a minimalistic reporting solution to create reports in a designated layout which requires very less data manipulation on the fly and less visual effects then TIBCO Data Virtualization fits perfectly for your need. The layout capabilities are still quite easy and accurate as compared to other BI reporting solutions. The only thing where this lacks is the preparation time for the data and reports.
