Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe)
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
- Using Scribe for integrations, especially with NAV has helped us win business against competitors as we can build quickly and have full control over integration logic compared to the nav adapter, for example.
- It is a known system and our customers respect that.
Flow has far more connectors but is more clunky to use. Although I see that this could rival Scribe in the future as people look to stay in the MS stack and avoid additional license fees.
- Online training
- In-person training
- Self-taught
I initially self taught using an earlier iteration of Scribe online. Subsequently i have had in person training.
I think the online materials are sufficient for you to pick up the basics and work from there

The ability to copy and paste block between integrations has saved time.
The revisions functionality has also made rolling back really good.

Learnings and Advice
Recently used it so that field engineers can submit transfer orders or stock requests from their mobile device, that creates a record in D365. We then transform that and ass it into Nav to perform a transfer order and ship goods to them. Pretty cool
Dive in, watch some of the videos and training materials but you learn from doing.
Know your scenarios, know your systems data structure and you will pick it up
