Glimpse of Best integration tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One excellent platform that supports organizations in making integration easier and faster to connect with diverse systems and sources is TIBCO BusinessWorks. Nowadays, several third-party tools and platforms are available to speed up development time with less effort. However, integration with such tools is not easy. Therefore, we utilized this tool to create a new application for our banking client.

Pros

Effortless integration due to abstracted layers.
Cloud integration.
Orchestration between multiple external systems' integration.
Not bound to specific language.

Cons

Documentation can be improved with real-time use cases.
Video tutorials can be designed.
It would be better if cost can be reduced.

Likelihood to Recommend

We had many legacy applications running within our private network with different programming languages and data formats(XML, JSON). We also developed new microservices where we transformed all the complex data to generate reports. Additionally, we wanted to collaborate with a few third-party services to utilize their services. Eventually, it became a complex architecture, and orchestration between all these services became difficult. Therefore, we started including the TIBCO integration tool to enhance the business with improved monitoring and cohesive application flow.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it as a middle layer to integrate two systems. we have various flows implemented. it addresses the problem we had with syncing data across two systems.

Pros

Sync data between two applications.
Read and Write records from sources like Excel.
Query and update Data.

Cons

In my experience, there are some limitations with identifying duplicate records before writing with Tibco Scribe, if this can be improved it will be a much better product in my opinion.
When the Metadata refresh is done ,it takes long for the flows to Refresh I've found.
Like to have more logical functions.

Likelihood to Recommend

It can be used a middle layer.

some logical functions cannot be done.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In Asahi beverages we are using Scribe as an integration layer which connect to various systems like Dynamics AX, SAP PI/PO, Cognos, CRM etc.. In my experience this tool works well, but for monitoring purpose it should have much more visibility todays the data it is processing and at time takes much time to show the transactions in console. Coming to connections, it is not great tool to test or change the connection parameters. The Tibco support staff is great helpful. they helped us resolving few critical issues. We thank them for their support and help.

Pros

We found Scribe tool is consistent for successfully processing data without any issues.
Good ability to reconnecting the systems when ever their is any issue with source/target systems.

Cons

I found Connecting to various systems is complex in Scribe when compared to BusinessWorks.
Hard to view any successful data which Scribe processed, as it does not store and when the target system have any issues so at this time its hard to know what data Scribe has processed.

Likelihood to Recommend

In BusinessWorks it is quite easy to develop applications and monitor where as it is not similar with Scribe. The data which successfully processed in Scribe is quite difficult to view. I think the Scribe console tool should have better view for the data it has processed.At times we founds some of our sales orders are missing which are unable to update/insert in the DB, after investigation found the issue is in Scribe tool. A case has been raised 02129657 for the same and as per the guidelines from the Scribe support engineer we did changes in the shutdown interval to zero. ''update SCRIBEINTERNAL.SCRIBE.KSYNC

set keyvalue= 0 where KEYNAME = 'SETTINGS.SHUTDOWNINTERVAL''. Later this change we started getting alert emails like ''Fatal error 325 occurred: Message processor shutting down

- defined maximum memory usage (900MB) exceeded. Please contact Scribe support

at support@scribesoft.com if this

problem persists''. We found this issue is a critical one as the occurrences of it is decreased but still it is persist.

Could be better, does some of the jobs, but gets frustrating for API calls. Documentation is also too generic and they need recipes.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Replicating data from cloud crm to internal database

Pros

data replication
data sync

Cons

API calls
JSON Normalization

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend if you need a simple replication/sync from cloud data systems to local data storage. You should make sure that the connectors are supported, as the documentation is a bit generic. You also have to ensure that the settings are defined when making connections, as it's easily missed and not turnkey. In my opinion, feels like the UI is a bit unfriendly

It was great for monitoring as well.

Data Transformation
Connectors
Monitoring
Analytics

Cons

future roadmaps
communication was great but needs more....always happens
They were great

TIBCO and Sales Order Process.

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

September 25, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Sales Order process is heavily reliant on TIBCO-Scribe as an interface between our CRM and Accounting ERP. This includes the creation of new customer and vendor accounts and sales orders into the Accounting system. Our quotes and orders are initially generated out of CRM and then duplicated in the Accounting system for customer, vendor, purchase, and sales invoice creation. Final data are synced back to the CRM from the Accounting System. We built and scheduled for execution TIBCO maps around our sales order processes.

Pros

The UI is easy to navigate and map flows are intuitive and easy to build upon after some basic training. However, a user should have some basic knowledge of writing nested statements.
Very responsive customer support.
The debug feature is a great tool for troubleshooting. You can easily identify where the issue is in your flow. At each debug step, it returns the expected value, and when there isn't the expected value, you know when to modify your flow.

Cons

It seems to struggle with being able to query large data sets. It would error out when attempting to query about 15K customer accounts.
Training. I had to look on the internet for some videos to understand how the control boxes work. When we initially installed TIBCO we received a crash course. You need someone with a good analytical, technical, or data background to use this tool.
Error messages doesn't always match the issue causing the error.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for duplicating operational processes and transforming data. It's less suited for querying and updating medium to large datasets. It is possible our connection wasn't configured correctly, and the speed could be improved. However, it still takes a long time to update mass changes.

We really liked the overall integration support of TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) with other external systems like SSO, Workday etc. It was easy to combine data from multiple sources and transform data. Apart from these, support for web services is also good, having the option to use both SOAP and REST services. The best feature is the graphical user interface. It makes really easy to understand and start learning without much hassle.

Reasons to use TCI

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

July 25, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

TCI is used to integrate Business systems with SAP systems. Volume of transactions vary dynamically depending on time and day of business. Sometime 100000 messages are expected in an hour or less and system resource utilization was a bottle, implementing solution with TCI resolved as it was easy to integrate other systems which are already on cloud and resource scaling was flexible enough to change dynamically

Pros

Security policies for authorization and authentication
Error handling made easy
Plugins to connect with systems

Cons

Logging - providing a inbuilt log framework
Feature to easily generate yaml files

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited where the there are one to one integration with minor transformation

Less appropriate if there are complex transitions and business logics to be implemented
