Software AG Universal Messaging vs. TIBCO Rendezvous

Software AG Universal Messaging is best used in conjunction with Software AG webMethods integration platform, as it works seamlessly with other components of that platform such as webMethods Integration Server and webMethods Trading Networks. It can be used with any messaging client developed in Java or .NET and supports JMS clients, however, it is best suited to being used as one component in an organization that is going to implement the entire webMethods platform to implement their Enterprise Service Bus integration solution.

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.

Incentivized

• Low latency high performance messaging and event handling
• High availability
• Horizontal scalability
• Seamless integration with Software AG webMethods integration platform

Incentivized

• Faster broadcast data.
• Exchange data across multiple networks.
• It works without a central server.
• Messages filtered based on specific subject.

Incentivized

• Logging
• Administration
• Observability

Incentivized

• RV doesn't support centralized administration to manage the delivery of synchronous messages in run time without changing its configuration which was done in code base

Not likely to renew or buy the license as they are using the TIBCO EMS as the primary mode of communication.

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.

Software AG Universal Messaging has excellent performance characteristics, a good high availability story, and works great when you are using the other products in the Software AG webMethods integration platform, as our organization is. It has relatively high licensing costs, which is a large negative when compared with open-source solutions such as Apache Kafka. However, Software AG provides good support services, and is a market leader in the integration space, giving some surety for risk-averse organizations that if something goes wrong we have a vendor we can rely on to help fix it.

TIBCO EMS provides centralized server administration to manger the delivery of services in run time

Incentivized

• Enables disparate software systems to be integrated, reducing manual data entry
• Enables high performance event handling for data lakes and analytics
• Has relatively high licensing costs

Incentivized

• Positive - RV supports faster delivery of messages to multiple subscribers (asynchronous communications)
• Negative - RV doesn't support centralized administration and guarantee delivery is more accurate like EMS Persistent delivery mode
