Sean Achim - PeerSpot reviewer
Building impactful organizational KPIs with ease and precision
Stability is rated at 10. One other important aspect I appreciate is that SSAS is included in the base installation of SQL Server. Obviously, it requires installation, but it is readily available, which is a major strength. It's all about setting it up, configuring it, and then using it. If there are additional costs associated with it or separating it as a second product, that would be a disadvantage. The area of improvement is really in education. Microsoft is trying to push everything as a Power BI solution or trying to get people to solve the problems which are solved with SSAS in another space in Power BI, or in Power Pivot, is not enough. There's not enough marketing, conversation, and support around that space. As a result, we end up with people not understanding that you need to build your models correctly, and then they try to model everything inside of Power BI, or another visualization tool, without first building the data model. That leads people to consider alternate solutions because SAP and others argue that their whole thing is in memory, and they disseminate misleading information. Additionally, what would be very helpful is local user group developments, so getting people around the table and teaching them how to use it. That is the biggest problem; it's not the technology itself. The challenge lies in Microsoft withdrawing a lot of the qualifications and watering down its emphasis, leading to a perception that this is supposed to be an elite product.

A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."
"It's a competent product."
"The performance and stability are good."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It is easy to set up the product."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."
"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."
"Video training would be a helpful addition."
"Options for scaling could be improved."
"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."
"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."
"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
