Reporting has become streamlined for year-end data checks but integration still needs improvement
When I talk about SQL Server, I am working with SSIS, the data integration tool. I am not entirely sure if I use SSIS as a library of transformations or if I personally work with an extensive library of transformations. I have integrated SSIS with SQL Server Management Studio, and I am very satisfied with the integration as it is integrated well. I am not using the debugging feature in SSIS because the developers would be the ones that would actually utilize it. I have noticed that in 2022, AI functionality has actually been implemented already. I would rate this review overall at a 7.

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

"With virtualization enabled we are able to scale horizontally."
"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"The performance is good, it's easy to use, the visibility is great, and we have found the solution to be very straightforward to set up."
"The return on investment has been very high; the tool has made us tremendously more efficient and saved us a significant amount of money, though I cannot put an exact figure on it."
"Compatibility with the rest of Microsoft BI stack"
"The technical support is very good."
"The setup is easy to use and understand."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."
"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."
"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features."
"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."
"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"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."
"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
