We performed a comparison between StreamSets and TIBCO Scribe based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The ETL capabilities are very useful for us. We extract and transform data from multiple data sources, into a single, consistent data store, and then we put it in our systems. We typically use it to connect our Apache Kafka with data lakes. That process is smooth and saves us a lot of time in our production systems."
"The most valuable features are the option of integration with a variety of protocols, languages, and origins."
"StreamSets’ data drift resilience has reduced the time it takes us to fix data drift breakages. For example, in our previous Hadoop scenario, when we were creating the Sqoop-based processes to move data from source to destinations, we were getting the job done. That took approximately an hour to an hour and a half when we did it with Hadoop. However, with the StreamSets, since it works on a data collector-based mechanism, it completes the same process in 15 minutes of time. Therefore, it has saved us around 45 minutes per data pipeline or table that we migrate. Thus, it reduced the data transfer, including the drift part, by 45 minutes."
"I have used Data Collector, Transformer, and Control Hub products from StreamSets. What I really like about these products is that they're very user-friendly. People who are not from a technological or core development background find it easy to get started and build data pipelines and connect to the databases. They would be comfortable like any technical person within a couple of weeks."
"It is really easy to set up and the interface is easy to use."
"The entire user interface is very simple and the simplicity of creating pipelines is something that I like very much about it. The design experience is very smooth."
"In StreamSets, everything is in one place."
"Also, the intuitive canvas for designing all the streams in the pipeline, along with the simplicity of the entire product are very big pluses for me. The software is very simple and straightforward. That is something that is needed right now."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
"The monitoring visualization is not that user-friendly. It should include other features to visualize things, like how many records were streamed from a source to a destination on a particular date."
"StreamSets should provide a mechanism to be able to perform data quality assessment when the data is being moved from one source to the target."
"StreamSet works great for batch processing but we are looking for something that is more real-time. We need latency in numbers below milliseconds."
"We create pipelines or jobs in StreamSets Control Hub. It is a great feature, but if there is a way to have a folder structure or organize the pipelines and jobs in Control Hub, it would be great. I submitted a ticket for this some time back."
"We often faced problems, especially with SAP ERP. We struggled because many columns weren't integers or primary keys, which StreamSets couldn't handle. We had to restructure our data tables, which was painful. Also, pipeline failures were common, and data drifting wasn't addressed, which made things worse. Licensing was another issue we encountered."
"I would like to see further improvement in the UI. In addition, upgrades are not automatic and they should be automated. Currently, we have to manually upgrade versions."
"One area for improvement could be the cloud storage server speed, as we have faced some latency issues here and there."
"The design experience is the bane of our existence because their documentation is not the best. Even when they update their software, they don't publish the best information on how to update and change your pipeline configuration to make it conform to current best practices. We don't pay for the added support. We use the "freeware version." The user community, as well as the documentation they provide for the standard user, are difficult, at best."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
StreamSets is ranked 8th in Data Integration with 24 reviews while TIBCO Scribe is ranked 49th in Data Integration with 1 review. StreamSets is rated 8.4, while TIBCO Scribe is rated 6.0. The top reviewer of StreamSets writes "We no longer need to hire highly skilled data engineers to create and monitor data pipelines". On the other hand, the top reviewer of TIBCO Scribe writes "A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples". StreamSets is most compared with Fivetran, Azure Data Factory, Informatica PowerCenter, SSIS and IBM InfoSphere DataStage, whereas TIBCO Scribe is most compared with Azure Data Factory, SSIS, Tray.io and Jitterbit Harmony .
