Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Data Virtualization

Identified
as one important enabler for the new digital ecosystem, is helping NOS build a Digital Stack and deliver new
capabilities much faster and enforce security, resilience, performance, and
scalability. We start by implementing Data Virtualization to support our Interactive Voice Response used by our Call Center 24x7 and expanding this capability to our digital channels providing the best experience to NOS customers.

Pros

  • Performance (Data Cache keeps a live "copy" of our data)
  • Common data model design for Business and IT(improve data governance)
  • Faster Implementation(time-to-market)
  • Secure (systems not exposed)
  • Resilience (support several scenarios simultaneous - online data vs cache data)

Cons

  • Studio User interface more modern
  • Messaging (Kafka, Pulsar,...) adapter out-of-the-box without the need to buy additional software
  • FASTER time-to-market, from several months to weeks
  • INCREASED information quality from batch to online event processing
  • LOWERED costs due to multi functional agile team delivery(every week)
The overall
performance regarding the engine is very good but depends on the database
performance and query buid experience of the developer.

Tibco Data Virtualization simplifies the architecture between the operational systems and front ends. Allow us to build a common data model for everyone(Business and IT), align the different rules, capabilities, segments, and SLA's in one tool. Event-driven is a must in this kind of environment in particular for data cache management. The product is very flexible and we can easily replicate some tools and get "lost" in the use cases scenarios we want to implement, respect the product core and clarify your needs and objectives.

Using TIBCO Data Virtualization

ProsCons
Technical support not required
Well integrated
Quick to learn
Convenient
Feel confident using
Do not like to use
Unnecessarily complex
The Studio interface
need some review because the layout is outdated and misses some functionality
more oriented for a less sql experience developer.

Sometimes
the messages and responsiveness causes some strange behavior that put the developer
using other sql tools and copy the final result to the studio.
  • Lineage
  • Discovery
  • Troubleshooting
  • Scratchpad analysis
  • Editing sql code
