Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe)
We currently use TIBCO Cloud Integration, specifically Scribe, to integrate with our on-prem CRM and cloud marketing automation. We were wary of using the built-in integration due to the fact that they would have separate databases to write data back and forth. If we left that cloud marketing automation, we would have a hard time breaking the integration. We are using this primarily in IT for the marketing department but it benefits the entire company from sales to manufacturing to installation and service.
- Scribe allows integration to our CRM and Marketo.
- Having partners that know the solution very well and who are very informative.
- Having agents for on-prem is very helpful.
- There are some issues with different browsers that could be improved.
- More details on the error messages, so that they are actually helpful to end users.
- More logging/reporting options.
- Huge ROI. Sales and quality leads are up significantly with the Scribe, CRM, and Marketo integration.
- It allows us to use it with future projects (SMS, IoT).
- Have yet to have a negative impact yet.
- CRM integration with Marketo
- Future sms integration
2 - Information Technology and Marketing currently but will roll out to Install and Service with future sms project.
We have used the old on prem scribe prior to cloud based and it was very helpful for nav and crm integrations

Biggest thing for us was it needs to be non intrusive.
- Online training
- Self-taught
It was very beneficial to have the 3rd part partner guide and train us on our journey with scribe. We still have the odd issue that they are able to give insight or fix for us and teach us what and why etc. Having some experience with the product isa must and the instructor / 3rd party consultant we had was very insightful and knew his stuff.
With the use of scribe online we are able to integrate our crm with Marketo without the use of their (marketo) native integration which was very intrusive. I think by using scribe we are able to have the option to sever ties with marketo without the need to re-deploy our crm.
Our current successes with scribe has been in the ability to quickly develop leads from online to crm and convert to sales. Without this integration we would have to manually import our leads and this was very time consuming. Our lead count is up drastically and the integration very rarely has had any issues.
TIBCO Integration (including BusinessWorks and Flogo) Feature Ratings
TIBCO Cloud Capabilities
No, but I cannot recall a bad experience.
- we haven't had any eureka moments with that but looking forward to using it wherever we can
Evaluating TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe) and Competitors
Yes - Scribe on prem, we replaced it for better features and less compute resources needed on prem.
Learnings and Advice
We haven't deployed yet but are planning on developing a web based sms calendar for our Service and Installation team that automatically delivers sms messages for install dates etc.
We utilized 3rd party support that had experience with both vendors and it was very beneficial. There were times we had issues with the product where the Scribe/Marketo support was unable to assist due to limitations on exporting of json strings and full requests but the 3rd party support agent was able to assist us.
The tibco community was very helpful at time with troubleshooting,
We found some browsers to be better to use than others, I think the worst was chrome ironically enough. But making sure cache is not causing some issues that you are having..
I don't think the process would change, we would have still done the same.
Using TIBCO Cloud Integration core features
The ability to import and export json strings is probably the biggest thing we use, especially between the live and dev environments.
Not sure there is one yet that we haven't used that were very helpful for us.
Simple interface and drag and drop, with the ability to go into and build you own query is a big deal.
Using TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe)
2 - We have 2 network administrators with over 40 years of combined experience in IT. I would think our experience with SQL and web hosting / building helps a lot with troubleshooting issue we may come across.
- SMS integration with our custom calendar we are building
- anything with an API really that needs to talk with another system.
