User-friendly interface facilitates efficient data migration and reduces operational overhead
Its usability and ease of use are standout features. It is really easy to use - almost too easy at times. Users don't have to be experts to use their tool set and utilize the clicking mechanisms, drop down boxes, and other features to build a package and run it. The configuration is very easy and the system is very stable. I would rate it at a 10 as it is highly reliable; we have never had any problems with it. Very little maintenance is required on my side. While you need to keep the product up to date, the maintenance requirements are minimal. SSIS integrates with all Microsoft tools seamlessly. We have used it against Oracle, DB2 and SQL. It integrates and can move data around from any data platforms, making it very diverse in that standpoint. It is a very robust tool that can work with many data sources, and its main strength is that it is extremely easy to use.

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

"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use. You can achieve more with less time. That's what's beneficial for me. With many competitors, you might need to spend more time coming up with a solution because you have to focus on taking care of the product."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products, is a cheaper option than other ETL tools, has a lot of in-built transformation, and is easy to learn."
"The packaging and how it is organized is good for someone that really has never seen ETL before."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."
"The UI is very user-friendly."
"It has good data integration and good processes."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes."
"SSIS has a difficult learning curve when dealing with complex transformations."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."
"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."
"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
"If you don't want to pay a lot of money, you can go for SSIS, as its open-source version is available. When it comes to licensing, SSIS can be expensive."
"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."
