Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Rendezvous

TIBCO Rendezvous is a messaging software used in my department to provide a way to exchange data between applications. We mostly use it in our business to have robust communication across several programming languages and hardware systems. When something happens during execution of one application and you would like to inform, in real time, other applications not necessarily in the same environment, it could be good way to use TIBCO Rendezvous.
  • Faster broadcast data.
  • Exchange data across multiple networks.
  • It works without a central server.
  • Messages filtered based on specific subject.
  • Poor management tool.
  • TIBCO RV needs a good knowledge on own networks.
  • POSITIVE - Broadcast message, so at the same time different applications can get the needed message.
  • POSITIVE - easy configuration.
  • NEGATIVE - Number of licenses to buy.
TIBCO EMS could be preferred to TIBCO RV for more reliable communication, because EMS guarantees data should not lost during network transmission. The plus point for EMS is that it's based upon JMS specification, so the integration with Java is very appreciated by programmers. EMS does not need to be installed on all clients: it is a very important consideration to keep in mind.
Attending an official TIBCO classroom training, where you can have an active participation with an expert teacher, you can find the answers to all yours needs. In any case, if you are not satisfied on your requests, the teacher takes the time to find the best solution.
I had the opportunity to attend one and I could learn all features I needed for my business: now I can say TIBCO Rendezvous is very usable.
I never needed support for TIBCO Rendezvous. I always used it without any issue and until now I don't remember some situations where it interrupted its 24/7 uptime.

Do you think TIBCO Rendezvous delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with TIBCO Rendezvous's feature set?

Yes

Did TIBCO Rendezvous live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of TIBCO Rendezvous go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy TIBCO Rendezvous again?

No

I would recommend TIBCO Rendezvous to a colleague for several reasons. One of most important could be to use it on different operating systems (i.e. Windows, Linux) and be able to create real-time communications. Another reason could be the easy message addressing: only those who subscribe to specific subject receive the messages.
