TIBCO BusinessWorks is being used by a department of the organization, in particular the integration team. TIBCO BusinessWorks addresses the need to create new platforms for external organizations. In particular: Energy & Oil companies, or banks, or retail, to create a new integration between external systems, creating new useful applications for the users of the company we are consulting for.
- It is immediate thanks to the graphical interface
- Very useful for creating web services
- You can integrate many systems between them
- It can integrate cloud systems
- It should be more stable
- It should also be an open source version
- It should incorporate test data management, such as queues or database
- Add more plugins

Could be better, does some of the jobs, but gets frustrating for API calls. Documentation is also too generic and they need recipes.
Replicating data from cloud crm to internal database
- data replication
- data sync
- API calls
- JSON Normalization

Stay tuned on data with TIBCO Businessworks!
BusinessWorks is used throughout the organization. It is used to help us seamlessly integrate any data source and to build web services. In particular, I use it to expose a SOAP web service for use in other applications.
- Access to real-time data across different environments.
- No need to know a specific language code.
- Expose multiple business processes as web methods under one service.
- Manage JDBC.
- Global Variables.
- SOAP over HTTP.
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

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

TIBCO Cloud Integration delivers!
TIBCO Cloud Integration is an essential tool to our success here at SAGE Publishing. We have an online implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM and rely on TIBCO Cloud Integration for all our data integration needs. We wouldn't be as success as we are without it. I would highly recommend it for similar implementations.
- Data integration.
- Data replication.
- Ease of use.
- Intuitive
- Make more tools/features available which used to be available on Scribe Insight.
- Improve change tracking.
- Add versioning.

An expensive replacement for Insight
Integration between on premise and cloud applications. ERP, Warehouse Management, Website / eCommerce. I was a developer in charge of managing and delivering integration projects and improvements to application endpoints.
- MS SQL
- Dynamics GP
- Database Connectivity
- Local Agent
- Development Environment is not great
- Bring back Scribe Insight!!! On Premise install is often better than the cloud.
We have been suggesting TIBCO Cloud Integration Scribe Online as our preferred tool for all the integration scenarios that includes Dynamics 365. For clients who prefer on-premise we suggest scribe insight. Currently, we have implemented Scribe Online in 2 of our projects. It involved moving Data from legacy systems to Dynamics CRM.
- Scribe online helps support complex integration scenarios especially in case of XML structure with parent-child relationships.
- Scribe online interface is very user friendly and intuitive.
- It doesn't require any programming skills to implement to complex scenarios.
- We faced one issue with The XML Source component of Scribe Insight which wasn't not in the Scribe Online version. "Repeating nodes are not supported for cousins, siblings, etc. Multiple repeating nodes must be related linearly to repeating nodes that already exist. Thus, a new repeating node must be a grandparent, parent, child, grandchild, etc., to an existing repeating node." The product can be updated to include the repeating nodes support.
- Scribe Insights Interface can be updated and be made more user friendly - basically like the Scribe Online interface
- Cost is also one of the factor, usually, when it comes to Dynamics CRM/365 Integration most of the places, we have customers using KingswaySoft instead of Scribe.

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.

Efficiently Integrates Data from Multiple Sources
We use Tibco Cloud Integration in syncing our data to Salesforce.
- Easily maps data.
- Provides the ability to use logic with data.
- Quick response when syncing data.
- Could provide simpler connector requirements.
- We've had difficulty troubleshooting issues without involving support.
- Provide templates to follow as a guide.
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.
We use TIBO to integrate our ERP systems with our Dynamics CRM cloud instances and use it across the whole group. The main focus is to get customer master data in the CRM system including orders, quotes, and KPIs. Most of the integrations are daily synchronization jobs that sync all daily changes into the CRM systems. Partly we have triggered integrations to sync leads from CRM back to ERP.
- Great UI
- Easy to build logic
- Easy datamapping
- Very reliable
- Integration templates for "standard use cases."
- Performance increase for large bulk jobs (average around 3 seconds per record but can be more).
- Licensing not based on solutions.

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.

Great experience with Scribe Online integration
We use Scribe for copying data from MS Dynamics CRM cloud to our on-premise servers in a scheduled manner. It is being used by our department for internal use.
- Flexible scheduling of jobs for SQL server.
- Reliability of data copies from cloud to on-premise.
- Custom one-time jobs can also be created (both small and big) as per user requirements.
- On some occasions, the scheduled jobs fail due to technical glitches. This can be improved for better user experience.

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.
We use Tibco Scribe to bring the data from our Dynamics 365 CRM Cloud environment to our on-premise data warehouse. We use this data in our BI environment, where our business users use it to create dashboards and reports. The sync is done on a daily basis using a manually selected set of Dynamics 365 CRM entities.
- The setup of both the sending as the receiving side is easy, you don't really need expert skills to set up the "technical" part.
- We don't need a complicated ETL tool to extract the data from the Cloud environment.
- The overall management of what needs to be synchronized is straight forward.
- Thanks to the specific SCRIBE fields in the receiving database we have a track of deleted records (for which we don't have anything in the CRM database).
- The synchronization is not fast and seems to do some unnecessary work.
- Selecting the entities to synchronize is quite tedious, you need to scroll through quite a big list (especially when you have a lot of custom entities) a filter would be welcome.
- You need to manually update the metadata of the sending connection to see newly created entities, it would be nice if you could schedule those tasks too.
- We already had quite some situations where MS changed things in the data model of CRM that caused issues in the sync tasks.

TIBCO Scribe Is a Powerful, Drag-and-Drop Tool for Data Integration and Transformation
We currently use Scribe for data integration between our CRM (Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement) and our ERP (an old AS400) as well as our CRM and our external website (HubSpot). We are also migrating to a new ERP (Dynamics 365 Business Central) and Scribe continues to play a roll in keeping our data integrated. Besides "near real-time" updates for data used is both systems, we also use Scribe for massive data uploads and edits (such as with our new ERP), as well as transferring data from our ERP into line-of-business model-driven PowerApps using the Common Data Service. Obviously, being connected so much with our CRM, much of the usage is for Sales and Marketing. But Finance, Purchasing, and our Creative Labs and Quality Control Labs also benefit.
- Near-real time integration of multiple systems along with data validation and translation in the integration maps.
- Integration Events have also been used in the past to display related data from a different system on-load, rather than always copying data and storing it in multiple places.
- Massive data uploads are useful, for example, when adding a new field to records and loading correct data on all the records as a starting place.
- TIBCO Scribe also has so many connectors. We've used D365CE, D365BC, SQL, Excel, HubSpot, and ODBC.
- Logic built into the functions and drag and drop actions make creating maps pretty painless and very powerful.
- Some level of beginner training would be great. There are some commands that aren't immediately clear what the slight difference is between each one and what scenarios make one command better than another.
- Similarly, example Scribe maps could also be useful, if that's possible. Again, it was a little slow for me getting started and seeing examples always makes things easier for me to understand.

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.

Interconnect everything fast and accurate
TIBCO BusinessWorks is our main platform for enterprise application Integration within the logistics domain. We successfully implemented integration solutions using the ESB pattern (soapatterns.org) , supporting our core operational processes like parcel sorting. Right now we are in the process of maturing our cloud native architecture. We're mainly looking at how to realize the cost benefits of migrating to the cloud.
- Zero-code development. Model driven which makes it more easy to explain integration solutions to less technical stakeholders.
- A lot of configuration options to make robust solutions. Think of fault-tolerance, loadbalancing, circuit breaking, session pooling etc.
- Openness so it can be integrated in your own CI/CD pipelines and monitoring solutions.
- The (Java fat client) UI of BW5 feels outdated compared to current user interface standards. Successor BW6/BWCE is Eclipse based and allthough it's an improvement you still need to cope with the ux quirks. In the future I would like to see a webbased UI.
- The BW process development tools heavily lean on XML and Xpath. Therefore, processing big documents isn't recommended. You need to consider this upfront.
- Due to the ease of use of the development tools, you can build robust solutions very quickly. It would be nice if the tooling would provide optimization tips (using AI) during development.
- Docker base image of BusinessWorks Container Edition is quite big. Allthough latest version has adressed this.

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

Great tool for real-time data integration projects
We use TIBCO BusinessWorks for all real time integration across the whole organization. Anytime, we want to get real time data synced across different systems, TIBCO BusinessWorks is our first toolkit of choice.
- TIBCO BusinessWorks does really well in the DB adapters. We can configure and be set up and running in minutes.
- Design and implementation of business process is pretty simple and intuitive.
- Debugging capabilities other than debugging Java code. It is addressed with the latest version of Business Studio.
- Plugins or adapters for the new technologies. Even SFTP plugins are introduced late in the market and it is not part of the standard bundle. It has to be purchased separately.
- RV is very complex to understand for a newcomer.
- Debugging limitations.

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.
