Robust integration tool for the excellent price-point
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe)
I am a consultant and have setup and integration for 3 clients so far -- Salesforce to other sources (SQL, CSV files).
Pros
- Price point - Lots of features for the price point -- perfect for mid-size companies.
- Excellent Support!
- Handles most situations well other than CSV files.
- Ease of use, being able to reprocess the errors, handles SF bulk processing well.
Cons
- CSV file handling -- difficulty using the CSVLOOKUP function.
- Can't put NULL as a value, for example, a Date. When using Jitterbit I can put NULL into a date field. So instead I have to check the condition first, and then make basically a duplicate of the map without the update of that one field.
- Similarly, can't update a lookup field unless I know that ALL rows have a value for that lookup field. Other integration tools handle this.
- positive -- we have installed Scribe at a few clients and they have been very happy with the implementations.
Pricepoint with depth of features and the Support is fantastic. -- definitely our go-to product when proposing to clients. I mentioned a few features before that need catching up with Jitterbit -- the inability to do updates on lookup fields if they are NULL, and not being able to set NULL to non-text fields, and using CSVLOOKUPVALUE easily with pipe delimited files.
- Online training
- Self-taught
The training was necessary and useful. I should probably take more advanced classes now that I've been using the product for a while.
