TIBCO Service Grid User

Pros

  • reduce the number of http port required by services
  • simplified the binding connection amongst services
  • high scalability and fast deployment of applications

Cons

  • health check of services and application features has been released with a lot of bugs that have never been fixed
  • it is not so simple to apply the security policy to service/reference binding

Return on Investment

  • The integration of old BW with BWSE and its interface quite similar to design time has reduced the cost of training for developers
  • The TIBCO support for this product is no the best and clients complains too much about this. This required to find a workaround or force the client to move to new/or different product. Huge impact on ROI
