Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Enterprise Message Service

TIBCO EMS is used to implement an asynchronous design pattern with XML messages.
In one scenario the requirement is to have different source systems sending messages in a common XML format to the same application to be further processed, so different senders publish message on the same queue using a common XML format.
In another scenario there is a source system who needs to send a message in a common format to only one of the different client applications.This is achieved publishing messages on a common topic, using a selector to bridge the message to the queue where the client application listens.
TIBCO EMS was in general used for the out of the box load balancing feature.
  • Fault Tolerance and load balancing.
  • Easy installation and configuration.
  • API available for clients.
  • Easy application integration.
  • Slow when configured in fault tolerance with database.
  • Add more details in the user guide.
  • Administration feature.
  • Not my area of expertise
  • In-person training
Training is fundamental to learn how to use product and have a good understanding of all the existing feature
Integration with TIBCO BusinessWorks is out of the box.
JMS and JNDI configuration is very easy using the available wizard.
Client configuration is very simple. Capability to validate the connection at design time.
Use when:
1)High reliability is required
2)To implement asynchronus/synchronus design pattern

Less appropriate :
1)High throughput is required
