TIBCO vs PilotFish

Which One Comes Out on Top?

PilotFish integration software connects virtually every kind of organization including insurance (healthcare, property and casualty, life and annuity, etc.), financial service companies, manufacturers, transportation and governmental agencies. For over 20 years, PilotFish has been purely focused on providing products and services that enable the integration of ANYTHING to ANYTHING — ANYWHERE. It’s what we do; it’s all we do and our client base of industry leaders validates how good we are at it.

We welcome your review of how PilotFish compares to TIBCO and why we offer you a better value proposition.

We invite you to examine the detailed comparisons of TIBCO and PilotFish across critical factors.

PilotFish vs TIBCO – More Value, Transparent Licensing

PilotFish makes licensing simple. We do not charge per connection, per interface or per transaction. Licensing is based on an on-demand model where you only pay for the time you use (similar to the AWS model). Licenses include every component and support all data formats. TIBCO’s subscriptions are deceptively simple looking lately but are not upon further examination. PilotFish offers a free analysis of what you can save by switching to us.

PilotFish vs TIBCO

PilotFish software can be deployed in the cloud, on-premises or with any hybrid combination. The PilotFish eiPlatform for Windows is a standalone eiPlatform/eiConsole installation which runs as a Windows Service. Other operating systems, such as Linux, are distributed via a WAR file to run in an application container. For cloud installs, Docker containerization provides a quick and easy setup. PilotFish’s On-Demand model can be run on any kind of infrastructure (Azure, AWS, etc.).

PilotFish vs TIBCO – Ease-of-Use and Higher Productivity

PilotFish offers the world’s only Graphical Automated Interface Assembly Line where configuration replaces coding. PilotFish’s exclusive built-in 3-Pane Visual Data Mapper offers drag & drop mapping which replaces scripting. PilotFish was architected so non-developers and business analysts could be key players in building, managing and maintaining interfaces.

• In the eiConsole, users create interfaces using prebuilt configuration panels – no coding or scripting is required.
• In the eiConsole’s Data Mapper component, transactions are mapped simply and quickly, following a consistent user interface and methodology regardless of format.
• The Data Mapper generates W3C-compliant XSLT in code view and in real time. Users can switch back and forth between the graphical view and the XSLT view by toggling between tabs.
• With PilotFish, your teams only need to learn and use one solution, regardless of the data format or integration scenario.

Let’s compare the very different approaches of the two products:

Much of the complexity around TIBCO is not needed in the majority of integration use cases, plus more configuration is required than with PilotFish. PilotFish’s products are architected to minimize complexity yet be infinitely extensible and flexible. Our mission was to create the world’s easiest to use and most intuitive integration platform and we succeeded.

“The reason for choosing eiPlatform: primarily ease of use. The eiConsole user interface and functionality were heavily preferred by our integration technicians and software engineers over the competitive products we evaluated.”
