Salesforce Data Cloud vs. TIBCO Integration (including BusinessWorks and Flogo)

Being a mid sized organization, the costing is achievable, but can’t say for those of startups. So I believe not suitable for small scale organizations and very well suited for large data analytics companies to gain market. Also, the maintenance is slightly difficulty and support for the product is comparatively slower than other similar products.

Well suited for duplicating operational processes and transforming data. It's less suited for querying and updating medium to large datasets. It is possible our connection wasn't configured correctly, and the speed could be improved. However, it still takes a long time to update mass changes.

• Analysing customer trends
• Detailing information to gain market
• Reporting and analytics
• Improved security
• Providing data analytical tools and less scope of error

• Scribe can dependably map or sync data between systems. When you have different systems being used by many departments, this is the tool to keep the data in-sync!
• API's are widely used by many applications and companies. Tibco Cloud Integration allows companies to integrate data from an older ERP system with a newer system using an API.
• Tibco provides the flexibility for business users, developers and anyone in-between to understand where data is moving within their organization.
• One example of flexibility of the solution is easily manipulating data on the fly.

• Very expensive
• Does not integrate with HubSpot (another CRM). We have tried many times and it does not seem to connect
• Sometimes the website will load very slow where other websites are much quicker

• Missing functionality: We like to run all the files available in the FTP when clicking the run button. Right now, we have to click the run button several times (or have multiple solutions) in order to run files from our FTP site one at a time.
• Generating column fields every time a file changes from the source in the FTP is very tedious. Working in integrations makes me have to go back and forth a lot of the time, and doing this is incredibly annoying.
• The security is horrendous. We installed an on-premise agent on the customer side, but we don't want them even touching the ETL tool at all. The only knowledge we are fine with knowing and being able to see is that they installed the agent, not the solutions themselves.
• Our company's connector would have to point to the dataset name rather than dataset ID. It was very frustrating because we change the dataset name a lot, and then we'd have to repoint it.
• It's very difficult to monitor the different integrations that go on because there isn't a consolidated dashboard.

The project which required the Scribe tool has been cancelled due to business direction change. Unless another project requiring Scribe comes up, it will likely not be renewed. Companies are always looking for cost savings though and Scribe is less expensive than competitors, so you never know.

it is easy to use after you get the hang of it. If you have an internal team of developers you will be able to maximise the usage a lot better. I would recommend it to people who need to organise data in a more unified way but I can’t speak to it from an infrastructure perspective as I’m not from the infrastructure team

The maps are fairly straightforward to create and use. The logical expressions and other units in the mapmaking process are straightforward, functional and understandable. It makes life much easier when you know you can figure out a way to make an integration work because of the toolset and commands that are available.

We have not had any issues with TIBCO not being available when needed. I have only had to contact support less than 5 times in about 5 year time frame due to syncing issues or a problem with the agent. Support is very quick to respond as well as very helpful.

TIBCO Cloud Integration (including BusinessWorks and Scribe)'s performance of the user interface are not to be complained about. The user interface is swift and is a pleasant user experience. The replication jobs take some time to finish but that is because the number of records to be updated/created on a daily basis is quite big. I did split up the jobs between highrunners (entities with a lot of changes) I update on a daily basis and quite stable entities that I update weekly. That solved my issue of a way to long replication.

For creating new process, you have lots of palettes to do every develop you need. For created process it is easy to understand even if you have ever seen before it. You can analyze your process in all their detail. User Experience is positive for beginner and expertise people. Just debug mode is still raw, but better in TIBCO BusinessWorks 6.x than TIBCO BusinessWorks 5.x .

Before using TIBCO Businessworks, I participated an official training with a specialized instructor. In this training, I learned what I needed to know to build some applications or web services and how to manage its. It was been very important to me. I understood many technical stuff to familiarize with this powerful platform. I can advice TIBCO Educational Services.

really good resources

If we don't design the process correctly, it can do lot of damage (like deleting files or data etc.,) and might assume product issue rather than a design flaw. So it is always recommended to do thorough unit testing , QA and a design review even for a small process to avoid major problems.

I like Salesforce Data Cloud because like mentioned before, it is easy to use, easy to generate reports, create workflows, keep track of customer data, sales data, house data, etc. You can also import excel sheets with customer data as well and it will create the fields for you which is nice

Rating is based on the features provided which are very good and useful. Scalability is very good and data workloads can be managed with less replication, lower costs, and greater agility making the overall use of the tool very smooth. So far experience is great, it is easy to understand and implement.
