TIBCO Integration (including BusinessWorks and Flogo)

Perfect for mid-size companies. Great tool to propose to our clients because it's fairly easy to use and support after our consulting company has installed the initial maps. Because your support is so great, it's perfect for a client who would need help with learning. I would imagine not a great tool if it is a very complicated integration?

Scribe is well suited if no other integration options exist. Not well suited for integration scenarios that have much more complexity.

It is well suited to able to have business users insert data. Not appropriate for certain data sets.

Scribe works well with Dynamics CRM online with small programs or projects. More complex integrations or larger deployments need consultant support for first time users. Scribe has basic and normal connectors for simplified integrations. Scribe is well suited for implementations that don't have coders or developers since point and click configuration is how basic integrations are programmed.

For us, it allows non-technical users the ability to load large amounts of data into a system. So I would recommend it in that situation, where perhaps the business does not have the technical resources needed to do a straight API integration, or those technical resources don't have the time/expertise to build their own mechanism to upload the data.

I would highly recommend Scribe to any peer who also has SQL databases and a Salesforce (or other compatible) cloud implementation. As an overall ESB, Scribe does a fine job for mid-sized tasks. However, larger transactions often take a very long time, so perhaps another bus would be better suited to it.

Scribe is well suited for everything related to data/applications integration. You can totally rely on all your integration processes being served to Scribe. In our experience, it's better suited if you want all the integrations to run automatically. The only scenario where we find Scribe less appropriate is in extremely custom connections, where the customer APIs are not standard.

My experience is specific to the use with Intacct syncing with Concur, but I would expect that in any integration scenario where the two systems to be integrated do not have tool already created to sync the information that Scribe could be useful with the assistance of someone to program the sync relationships.

I believe Scribe is an excellent tool for ETL of multiple data sources. It has a standard interface that allows you to quickly connect to various connections without having to have the knowledge of how the connection is made under the hood.

Multiple uni-directional batch integration requirements. If there's bidireccional data feeding, this might not be your thing. The strong point about this is how quick you can start integrating without not much technnical knowledge.

There's a cool feature about exposing an API, but be careful about the availability KPIs and expected service load and which extra connectors you need to purchase.

Scribe is very well suited for any situation where you have data you need to send between systems either one direction or bi-directional and you want an easy way to set this up. This also allows you a great deal of control around how to manage and manipulate the data. I like that there is the option to either setup scribe as a batch or as a web service listening for a request. This allows you to accommodate different types of systems and adapt to the needs of customers.

It is good if you need to have a tool to integrate the data in a quick way. It is easy to set up and to build new integrations. But if it is going to be complex and you want to have everything in one organization, you probably will need to have an extra server to deal with this.

Suited for the integration of Dynamics GP and CRM.

It's useful for migrations, it's capabilities of mapping data make it easier to complete the migrations in which there is a schema change. Useful to maintain synchronization between different databases, should be used with more caution in this second scenario. The tool should be used with care when the data is too sensitive to changes. Testing the solutions may be tedious.

This is a great tool for ETL work with multiple connectors.

Scribe excels at the rapid development of data migration tasks on partner-hosted systems, but Scribe Online does not seem to be yet at a functionality level where it can do the same for online systems, due to both speed and a reduced function library compared to the Scribe Insight product offering.

Once the integration is set up and run, there's very minimal maintenance and it's been great to use. There might be problems from time to time when a large batch of data was processed but the job picked itself up and reran when that occurred. Email alert for errors is very useful in this type of situation.

TIBCO Scribe is really suited for cloud to cloud projects where both vendors have well documented APIs, otherwise you would need to be fairly technically minded to use this software. It's a powerful tool, but it definitely requires design and thinking about rather than diving right in and fumbling through!

Scribe Online essentially made a migration of 500,000 records move from the "not possible" category to "challenging, but possible".

The alternative to using Scribe would probably have involved using batched spreadsheets or bespoke software to import data and given the complexity of the data along with the high chance of partial failures during upload, it is very unlikely this approach would have worked. The interface is simple but powerful and although our migration took a large amount of time, this was not time spent fighting or learning Scribe.

Had we not used Scribe for the migration we would have spent many multiples of Scribe's selling price figuring out that the alternative approach was non-viable.

Seems to be well suited for straightforward pulling of data from one system into another.

Scribe Online seems to be well suited for integrating flat files with Salesforce and generating flat files for ERP consumption.

Scribe Online seems a little more challenging to use for web apps without official connectors available in their Marketplace. But I have yet to test this functionality.

Scribe works very well for smartly migrating data from one platform to another. With that said, it can take several days to migrate 100s of thousands of records into Dynamics 365. If the number of data changes is more than 50,000 records per day, Scribe (online) might not be the most practical solution. Perhaps the on-prem version would perform better.

Scribe is useful for migrating customers from other CRM platforms (or earlier versions of D365) to Dynamics 365 Cloud solutions.
Scribe can be useful for integration with third-party systems such as anything SQL based or using a number of pre-built connectors for common platforms.

Well suited while integrating with different legacy systems or performing simple data transformations. Less appropriate for large datasets or complex data transformations.
