The Best integration tool in the world.
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.
- 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.
- 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.

Scribe Integration to Microsoft Dynamics GP
We have used Scribe Integration tool for about 10 years now for a number of financial applications and our target is Microsoft Dynamics GP. We are currently using it with GP 2016 and it works very well for us. It allows us to rely on the business rules validation that Scribe uses when integrating financial data to GP. We are using Scribe at my specific location and I know it is used in other locations as well. Using Scribe to integrate data allows our users to continue using the same business apps they always used instead of keying the data in GP.
- Offer integration for various modules of GP.
- Groups and alerts are easy to set-up.
- Initial configuration and installation are lengthy.
- Does not roll back all errors.
We are using TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) for providing various accounting services to our clients and in addition to this, we are also using TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) for providing a consolidated, single user experience for better and aligned engagements within our organization. The major scope is to benefit from the cloud features like scalability, flexibility and high availability and at the same time cater to our client needs. We really like that TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) works seamlessly with our legacy systems and with some effort we are moving in the right direction by migrating on premises services to cloud platform.
- Automation of development pipelines
- Use of microservices for Agile SDLC
- Automation of business process and workflows
- Still figuring out debugging
- Integration with other TIBCO tools can be a tedious task

TIBCO and Sales Order Process.
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.
- 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.
- 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.

Reasons to use TCI
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
- Security policies for authorization and authentication
- Error handling made easy
- Plugins to connect with systems
- Logging - providing a inbuilt log framework
- Feature to easily generate yaml files

Great for Dynamics CRM
We use TIBCO Cloud Integration to synchronize our ERP data with the CRM. It is used for six companies in Europe. As the ERP is the leading system, the source data always comes from Infor LN and Sage B7 ERP. This data is integrated into three different On-Premise Microsoft Dynamics CRMs. Most of the data is synchronized daily and partly every few minutes to keep the CRM data up to date.
- Easy integration, even for non-programmers
- It can connect to a lot of different systems/databases easily
- The support is helpful and questions are answered fast and professionally. And if nothing helps, you get remote live-support
- Good on-site training available
- It is fast and (the CRM module) has the ability to cache query results
- Export and import of mappings are very easy
- Easy change of connections in (imported) mappings
- The debugger is a pain. Sometimes it is hard to find an issue
- It is not possible to split the integrations into steps. You need to copy/paste (and maintain) integration-steps that are used in multiple integrations
- You cannot call a flow from another flow

BW Man
Tibco Business Work is used to build integration layers based on SOA principles.
Main scenario: Integrate internal source systems based on different technologies with SAP C4C CRM. An event based architecture was built using an In-Only pattern based on XML over JMS. Soap over http services exposed by SAP were easily consumed using the out of the box functionality of the product.
The integration layer was built defining a Canonical Data Model to reduce the number of transformations and simplify the code maintenance.

- Easy web service development (REST & SOAP)
- Easy mapping transformations : XML/JSON, XPATH
- Management of run-time entities
- Simple deployment
- Many adapters available
- One IDE for 3 different runtimes (On Premises, Container, Cloud)
- Improve Business Studio stability
We currently use it to integrate ms CRM 2016 with Hubspot. And we run a few other update jobs in CRM.
- Connector towards Hubspot and MS CRM works good for Scribe.
- Incremental updates based off last run date.
- Building blocks in Scribe work fine.
- Annoying lockout of webapp during development.
- Error handling is not so informative.
- Help and support info is not the best.
- Functions, lookups and more technical features are not as good as SSIS.

Review
We are using TIBCO BusinessWorks throughout our organization. Within our organization, TIBCO BusinessWorks is extensively used for integrating various internal systems, as well as external vendors, by exposing Rest APIs. Development in TIBCO BusinessWorks is very user-friendly, which is why development is rather quick. This helps with delivering projects on time.
- Integration with internal systems.
- Integration with external systems.
- Rest API development.
- TIBCO support can be provided in a better way.
- Handling JSON transformation.
- Heavy weight.
TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) is used by a semiconductor manufacturing department. It is mainly used to call services to retrieve data between different systems with different protocols. We use the TIBCO Rendezvous protocol behind BusinessWorks and SOAP for invoking web services. It is used (very efficiently) for logistics management and positioning products in the department. Developing, deploying, and monitoring TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) applications is straightforward, and logging and centralization make it easy to detect problems.
- Robustness
- Simplicity for designing solutions
- Ability to connect to multiple sources
- Easy to debug
- Easy to use drag and drop in Designer
- Integration with native self-built Java modules is difficult
- Can be less heavy on memory use
- Difficult for users with no IT experience

TIBCO BusinessWorks Review by Leonardo Cruz Mesa
TIBCO BusinessWorks is an agile solution for integration needs, allowing you to have real time information for strategic decision making. With TIBCO BW, organizations can take their IT Architectures to an SOA Architecture, allowing them to improve their business processes, and allowing companies to have a digital transformation. A main item of TIBCO Cloud Integration, which allows small and medium enterprises to use the product in an elastic architecture.
- It is a product that allows distributed solutions that complies with SOA principles
- With the principle of non-code, it helps companies have more agility and better understand their processes and fulfill the business objectives.
- Manage real-time information for new business decision-making strategies
- There are few customers with the product in my country Colombia. So the potential of the platform is not known.
- Not much documentation for independent developers.

Scribe Replication Service Issues
Scribe Replication Service (RS) is used only by me to replicate 73 MS CRM 365 entities to an Azure SQL Database, used as a "data warehouse". The 73 tables in our Azure SQL database are updated by the RS every night. The intent was to have a copy of the most useful CRM entities in the cloud for reporting purposes with Power BI.
- Daily Replication succeeds without errors more often than not.
- The Replication Service does not include the ability to "pre-filter" the data in any way, i.e., it gets ALL records from the beginning of time and ALL columns, many of which are not used in CRM.
- Several errors with records that fail to be processed are frequently reported, including "Execution timeout expired", "data would be truncated", and "Cannot insert duplicate key row". I've opened support cases for these, but none seem to have a solution I can use.
- The row counts of all entities replicated should be approximately equal to the row counts in the source database, but several entities' counts are significantly different.
- In the Scribe Online web app pages, the error details panel cannot be resized andruns off the bottom of the screen, making impossible to read the entire error message.

Scribe - Easy to Use, Functional and Fantastic
We use Scribe to transfer data between multiple systems. From our account/contract system to our CRM system, as well as from our CRM system to another database.
Scribe plays a major role in making sure we have data integrity across multiple systems. It allows to avoid manual updates of data between system, which is crucial when we have limited staff. This allows staff to focus on other job duties.
- The creation of integration maps is straightforward.
- The ability to schedule when solutions are run is of great value because we need to have systems updated in a particular order. Scheduling makes this easy.
- When errors do occur, the error messages give enough information to allow us to diagnose how we need to fix records as necessary.
- The system could be a little faster when navigating within maps. Sometimes there are delays while the page loads.
- There could be more examples of how to use Scribe in the documentation.
- I would suggest that Scribe provide suggestions when sending error messages eg Have you tried to refresh the metadata? This would save contacting support for some people.

Scribe Online: Use it
We offer Scribe to multiple customers as a Microsoft partner. Our most common uses are one-off migrations from legacy systems to dynamics 365 or ongoing integrations between dynamics 365 and another system.
- Point and click design for integration maps
- Simple scheduling of integrations
- Useful error reporting
- Since moving to Scribe online: no publisher
- Online editor can be sluggish: lagging
- Debug should mimic a commit not actually commit
- Improve having live and testing integrations in one tenancy

TIBCO BW : The rolls royce of integration solutions
TIBCO BusinessWorks is used as an integration layer in my organization. It resolves all problems to transport data (file, ftp, Web service, API...) inside our organization or with our partners.
- Quick developement
- Quick deployment
- Easy monitoring
- Easy scaling
- API Rest and JSON tools are not natively available in the designer V5
- Sometimes the mapping tab presents some bugs (for example : if statement)
- Maven cannot be used to build TIBCO BusinessWorks projects

TIBCO Cloud Integration Review
We are using TIBCO Cloud Integration to connect ERP System to internal subsystems.
- Easy to use
- Clean interface
- Good customer service
- Lots of errors--having to restart the system and losing work in the process
- Solutions are cumbersome and very difficult to organize.
- System periodically will just not work, specifically when you are trying to fetch records to preview.
- System is VERY slow.

Live fast with BusinessWorks
It is used by a department for manufacturing electronic system. It keeps separate logic from implementation, making it easy for application to call services. Logging and centralization let us easily detect problems.
We use TIBCO Rendezvous protocol behind BusinessWorks
For example, we use a service to retrieve data between different systems and though different protocols (FTP, shell script...) making all transparent to clients.
- Abstraction of logic
- Robustness (very high)
- Good maintainance
- Versatility
- Usability of GUI (too many settings in too many places)
- Slow management interface
- Difficult to learn

TIBCO BusinessWorks, Integrate the incompatible
TIBCO BW is used across the whole organization. It is an efficient software to ease the integration process of backend and front-end systems. It supports a wide variety of technology like SAP,Siebel,PeopleSoft,Facebook etc etc. Someone using TIBCO BW does not have to worry about data conversion issues between front-end and back-end systems or incompatible software products. It seamlessly converts the data via the use of XML as a standard.
It is a highly scalable and reliable software that has many supporting technologies like JDBC, JMS, different databases, messaging systems, data conversion system. It is extremely user friendly using the Eclipse UI as a standard and is highly customizable.
It is certainly a leader in the integration software industry.
- Data conversion
- Data transfer
- Integration
- Can be less heavy on memory use
- Should be accessible for students for further enhancement
- Can be expanded for use with more open source products

A lot of potential, but it's got a long way to go
Our IT team is using Scribe to migrate data from one cloud application to another as part of a transition to a new application. It will also be used after the data migration is complete on a daily basis for regular data processing for interfaces between the cloud and our internal organization's application. We are the first team in our organization to try Scribe. We have used other services similar to Scribe, but they are more costly.
- Scribe has a lot of connectors for different types of sources and targets
- Security is easy to maintain in Scribe
- Scribe's use of graphical mapping designer makes it easy to visualize what a map is doing
- List view filtering is annoying in the interface. It does not save your filter or page that you were viewing. So if you click on a solution and then return to the list, the view is reset. You also cannot filter on solution status.
- Often the metadata for sources and targets do not display in mappings. Sometimes you have to close and reopen a map several times before the fields will display. It's extremely slow.
- There is no way to stop run-away processes via the application. I've had many instances where a process has been hung and cannot be stopped without calling in a ticket. Usually, it perpetually stay s in that state and you end up needing to recreate the solution.
- There is no way to purge the internal database file used on the Scribe agent. Once it reaches a maximum size (which is small), the agent becomes unusable and needs to be retired.
- It's difficult to manage which solutions are using which agents and which solutions are using which connections. There should be easier ways to report on this information.
- Often your changes appear to have been saved but are actually not saved and the solution does not run correctly.
- I've had instances where a source Oracle view is inputting x number of records but Scribe does not process them and does not produce any sort of error. It just looks as if there was nothing to process. This happens randomly.
- The "statistics" produced by the solutions do not make it easy to understand which maps produced which update/create counts. Also, the record counts are difficult to interpret and also thrown off by batching. Other cloud services seem to be able to produce easy to read record counts by step even when they include batching. Not sure why this cannot.
- There is no good instruction for determining the correct number of maps per solution or number of agents per server that are recommended.
- There is no facility for running pre and post processing commands (like in other similiar apps). So you cannot have a script to check for presence of a file or to delete a file or create a trigger file.
- Flat file handling is not very powerful and is clunky. If you want to change the delimiter used by a source or target file, you need to manually recreate the entire definition. You can import from a sample file, but the individual field type and sizes are lost.
- If you want to reassign a connection for a solution (like UAT to PROD), you need to go into each individual map and change the source there instead of being able to do it at the solution level.
- There is no way to copy a solution. You can have to export all the maps individually, create a new solution and then import all those maps. Then go into each one and wait for the metadata to refresh and then save each one (sometime several times) in order for it to become "complete".
- The progress counter is very slow to update on running solutions
- When a solution is running, there is no way to tell which map is currently executing within the solution.
- If you run an individual step within a solution instead of the entire solution, there is no way to tell which step is running until it's done.
- Validation within a map is cloogy. the slowness of the interface causes lag in the map validation. this flags errors that no longer exist.
- Mapping fields could be easier. there is no marker on the source side to show which fields have been mapped and which haven't. This is a pain when you have hundreds of fields to map. Other similar apps show a check mark.
- There are so many little things that could be improved about the user interface. I could go on and on.

Tibco BW is relatively a very good product for implementing the Enterprise/Corporate level backend data processing
At FedEx EMEA, TIBCO BusinessWorks is used in many IT departments; it is used to address the data consuming/consolidation and distribution of the enterprise data. It is also used to build the SOAP based enterprise service. It is connected with the TIBCO EMS based enterprise messaging main bus, and it persists the transformed data into the various data sources, for example Oracle RAC, IMDG and Cassandra NoSQL.
- The main strength of Tibco BusinessWorks is the seamless integration of development/testing/deployment.
- The learning curve of Tibco BusinessWorks Designer is not so steep, which helps to achieve a quick to the market strategy.
- The many levels configuration overriding possibility makes the solution flexible.
- The RESTful + JSON support is still not too perfect.
- The integration with the native self-developed Java modules is still lacking general framework support.
- It's too flexible to override the configuration properties on domain/engine/process/server levels and sometimes causes project management and maintenance problems.
