Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Data Virtualization

Bringing disparate data sources together to allow for a homogeneous denormalized view for data distribution and consumption across multiple business units. Scope is primarily across the Finance, Risk space.
TIBCO DV allows us to bring the Balance sheet data, and merge that with the counterparty data, market data, exchange rates and risk attributes.
  • Bringing disparate data sources together
  • Intuitive setup wrt the physical, logical and business layer definitions.
  • Memory management and query optimization
  • Transparency and control over execution plan
  • Reduced data management cost, albeit requiring increased oversight
TIBCO DV struggles in query execution predictability, as and when the complexity rises within the logical layers involved in bringing large data sets together. We used it extensively for critical daily reporting, wherein we have had numerous performance issues (and some missed SLO's). This has resulted in rethink of our toolset, if this is the right candidate for DV.
No such plans at the moment to use TIBCO DV in a hybrid environment.
Have started tinkering with Starburst and it seems to be a good tool, with predictable performance. TIBCO DV would certainly need to up its game wrt the overall design vis-à-vis hardware and its optimization.
