XI vs TIBCO

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have learned XI.

And I want to know about the other existing middleware technologies like TIBCO, WebMethods, etc....

And how XI is better than them?

if u know XI then i guess u dont need to learn other middlewares.

main advantage of XI over other middleware tools is that XI provides you with central routing and central monitoring of messages.

thanx

4.Development help

5.BPM

Hey

well main advantage of XI over other middleware tool is central monitoring and centraal development.and one more thing(may be business edge over others) is that its from the leader in ERP,XI is better suited for IDOC and RFC scenario that other middleware tools,so i guess if companies have SAP then they go for XI rather than other middle ware ,

as far as i remember SAP was recommending Webmethods before they came up with XI.

thanx

Hi Krishna,

Its good tht u have learnt XI but try to get some practical exposure to face some real time problem which will give u more knowledge.

But as you are interested in other middleware to compare with XI .Websphere is one very good example to start with .Its capabilites are some places better than XI and it can be mappped to SAP also .

However this issue is always debatable over which is better middleware but SAP XI is definitely better option considering when u have to have nay one system as SAP as it is SAP proprietry.It will take sometime to mature but still good contender for Middleware .For Websphere u can check the ibm standard silte for more info
