Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Data Virtualization

We use TIBCO Data Virtualization in our organization to provide solutions to multiple clients for data virtualization, which provides an abstract layer where we can connect heterogeneous data sources like RDBMS and Non-RDBMS as well as flat files and provide a singular database as a solution. We can make web service as well. Multiple clients have complex data, which is stored on multiple databases. We can make it singular by using data virtualization.

Pros

  • Connection multiple database
  • Provide multiple output options like web service and database
  • User management
  • Data handling
  • Community support

Cons

  • User-friendly web portal
  • Deployment portal
  • Clustering
  • Customer adaptor support
  • Less time to maintain data
  • Less data errors
  • Improved data availability
  • Supports multiple frontends over JDBC and ODBC connection
  • Slightly difficult to start learning TIBCO Data Virtualization
1. TIBCO Data Virtualization has great performance on traditional data sources like oracle, mssql, and hive, but for new data sources there is space for improvement like Odata
2. Transformation could be much easier in TIBCO Data Virtualization, but it's difficult to do it graphically
3. TIBCO Data Virtualization supports a cache mechanism to improve performance, so it gives an upper hand to the user
4. User management under TIBCO Data Virtualization is possible; we can put data masking according to user and user group
Yes, TIBCO Data Virtualization supports multiple data source connection options, and configuration is also easy to do. We can connect any data source within minutes.
We are planning to use TIBCO Data Virtualization for hybrid env, where most of the data is on the cloud and social media. TIBCO Data Virtualization has connectors for data sources and social media adaptors, so it's easier.
1. We have evaluated the Denedo data virtualization tool, which uses the same concept of TIBCO Data Virtualization, but it lags in Custom adaptor supports and the availability of adaptors
2. As TIBCO Data Virtualization is a pioneer in data virtualization, so TIBCO Data Virtualization has support for multiple databases, performance optimization, and SQL function support. Multiple custom options are available in TIBCO Data Virtualization.

Do you think TIBCO Data Virtualization delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with TIBCO Data Virtualization's feature set?

Yes

Did TIBCO Data Virtualization live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of TIBCO Data Virtualization go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy TIBCO Data Virtualization again?

Yes

TIBCO Data Virtualization will be well used in companies that have data stored in a heterogeneous database and have complex data, but the size of data should be medium. For larger data, TIBCO Data Virtualization lags in performance.

TIBCO Data Virtualization will not be useful in the scenario where the company has stored its data in a similar fusion same database data size is large.
