Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Data Virtualization

TDV is used in our organization to create master data views used by a host of downstream applications as a common source of the data stream. TDV is helpful in the sense that we can create a common master view by combining different consumer views sourced from a wide variety of data sources.
  • Master data views from disparate data sources.
  • Integration with Cloud technologies.
  • Compatibility with target systems such as Business Objects, Spotfire etc.
  • Improve the web manager console to better manage users /groups/ monitor logs etc.
  • Reduction in data errors as we have a master source of truth defined in TDV.
  • Downstream applications are able to connect to and source true data from TDV.
  • Forms the data hub for the majority of orgs.
TDV does integrate with a host of third-party apps such as BO/ Spotfire for reporting, Informatica for ETL, etc. However, if it can come up with its own suite of these products and combine features of TDV into a single robust Data Integration/ Analysis/ Reporting software, then it is more likely that people will want to explore the product more.
We do have data hosted on-prem and in the cloud. Using TDV, we are able to connect and source data from these sources without any issues. Their documentation is pretty straightforward and to the point. It not only helped us create virtual master views but also integrated them with other apps.
We evaluated Informatica and Boomi but stuck with TDV because of our relationship with them. We started with Composite, then CDV (Cisco Data Virtualization), and not using TDV.

Yes

Would you buy TIBCO Data Virtualization again?

Yes

Well suited: Useful for aggregating data sources and creating a master view to be used across Org streams/ units. Less appropriate: Not a lot of organs use TDV solely because it is marketed as a sole virtualization product rather than a suite of products. Moreover, there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to the user interface, especially the web manager console.
