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.

Offers power developers the tooling they need

I am not the end user of this solution. I am not close enough to it because I manage the platform that it runs against. The end users who use the Toad tool come against the database that my team manages, so it is hard for me to provide any area for improvement when it comes to the Toad tool. However, in the administration case, cost is a significant issue. The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."

"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."

"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."

"The best thing about it is its automation features."

"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."

"One of the greatest features is that you can get data from anywhere to anywhere with Toad Data Point."

"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."

"We love it."

"I have never experienced any issues with customer service."

Cons

"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version."

"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."

"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."

"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."

"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly."

"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."

"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The price of Toad Data Point was approximately $500 annually."
