Best for Dynamics 365 Migrations with small hurdles
No tool is perfect. But Scribe Online is the tool of choice for us.
It is responsive, as soon as all Metadata has been cached and easy to use after a short introduction phase. The maps we build can be reused for other Migration projects.
Even if Scribe Online is cloud solution, we can choose, if we want to push the data through a local Agent instead the Cloud.
Only some special scenarios, where the data must be imported by the owning user instead of a generic account, can become tricky. Since the impersonation is defined on connection level and cannot be modified during the run.
However, Scribe gives the full access to the REST API. So, if it is not possible through the UI, it can often be made with some lines of code using the API.
Pros
Simple UI, direct access to the API, very good and friendly support from customer service and the Scribe Team itself
Cons
The Monitoring of the Job execution could be better by showing the current amount of records processed (in Silverlight was at least some Progress visible)
Also there is still a known issue with the lookup tables. The Workaround only exist for Online Agents.
Migrations done with ease
Everybody with a little technical experience can do migrations and build interfaces in Scribe Online. The tool allows (less) technical people to create migrations and interfaces.
This tool is built in the Cloud, with OnPremise connections available. This is great, you're able to build your OnPremise and Online integrations/migration all from the browser.
The interface is built on HTML5 and responsive, so you can access it from multiple types of devices.
If we have issues, which we don't hope :), the support team is quick and helpful.
If you're still in doubt? Just start a trial and try for yourself!
Pros
Ease of use, large number of connection, availability of the user interface!
Cons
Logging is available, re-processing is possible. But no automated re-processing.
Scribe Online - HTML5 Getting Better
We love scribe online for CRM -> GP integrations. From a functionality standpoint, the tool is 100% effective and what we need. We'd love it to process records and load metadata a little faster, but in the end, we can live with the way it is now and the integrations are reliable.
That being said, the old Silverlight client was often difficult to use, the debugger was very unreliable, and it was quirky, especially in modern browsers. The new HTML5 UI is much more reliable, especially the dubugger. We have noticed that when you are in the solutions tab the UI sometimes locks up and you can't move between pages without reloading. We'd also love to see the copy block feature re-implemented (we still go to old silverlight for that) and folders in the solutions tab would be nice.
Pros
Reliable
Cons
Better but still slow to develop/quirky interface.
Have made more than 50+integrations and migrations with both Scribe Insight and Scribe Online
Pros
Have never met a job, that could not be handled by Scribe. Have tried other integrations software, but always return to Scribe, because it has a vider range of functionalibility.
Cons
Some functions do not always work as expected, but ther is always a workarround. Other times you need to not how to create some pre-steps in order to have the actual integration step work.
Scribe Online Review
Overall we are really excited about the Crystal release of Scribe Online. We have been using SOL for several years and are big believers in the platform. Even though there are still some "hoops" that need to be jumped through at times for the Crystal Release to behave as intended (i.e. save map, exit map, open map back up, click validate) it is definitely headed in the right direction. I anticipate the upcoming release of SOL (this weekend's update) and am hopeful it will resolve many of the nuances / bugs that I referenced above.
Pros
Cloud based.
Cons
There is still some "finicky" behavior that needs to be embraced for some maps to behave as expected: save map, close map, open map back up, validate map, then you can continue making changes.
Quick and easy to get data integration up and running
Pros
User friendly guide.
It is very easy to get it up and running very fast. If you have seen scratch, you know the guitar.
Cons
Response times when debugging.
It takes a very long time to step through a map, step by step, due to the online design.
Both Integration and Migration Work GREAT!!!
Increased business and rapid turn around on projects. We implement SCRIBE Online as a solution for integrating systems with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and also for data migration.
Pros
The UI is easy to understand and follow. It makes completing integration and migration work extremely easy.
Cons
Would be great to have an Android and iOS app that allows for monitoring of integration and migrations with real time push notifications.
Scribe Survey
Enjoy using the tool. Impressed with the tool's ability to reprocess certain errors. I'm looking forward for global variables and counters.
Pros
Ease of use
Cons
Connectivity to Oracle. Connectors do not always work and getting expert support related to this issue is difficult.
Scribe is a great tool for integrations and migrations
I have been using Scribe for more than 3 years for Microsoft Dynamics CRM migrations and integrations. Its been very great tool during silverlight version and has gone to extra ordinary tool with latesth upgrade. Any cost reductions would help Scribe in achieving greater success.
Pros
ease of use.
Cons
cost
Scribe Review
Scribe does exactly what we need it to. The only feature I would like to see is the ability to start one solution after another solution runs successfully.
Pros
Ease of use. Cloud based.
Cons
The ability to start one solution after another runs successfully.
Response from Scribe Software
Scribe Online does have the ability to start one solution from another using the platform's Fast Connector Framework. We'll have our Customer Success team reach out to you to help you get started.
Robust Platform as service
Pros
Scribe provides a robust PaaS for cloud integration, Helps to do migrate full on premise applications to cloud or part and enables connectivity between on-premise and cloud applications. We have used it for ETL migration, It is simply superb. best thing about scribe is easy to learn and adopt the technology. Customer support is best. I am fully satisfied with Scribe services.
Cons
Not really much , But sometimes saw UI is errors and lags.
Easy to use and very helpful
I've had a hassle-free experience using Scribe Online as it makes completing many of my tasks easy and less time-consuming. The integration process comes in very handy and is a solid reason why I back every company to use Scribe in order to achieve its goals. It's flexible, very simple and fast. The cloud is very much the future.
Pros
The ease of use. When even thinking about integrating systems, your mind instantly considers how long the process will take and demotivates you in using the process. But when it comes to Scribe, I was surprised how quick and easy it was to integrate our systems and see our handful of tasks be automated. It's an extremely efficient service and I think a lot has been put into providing customers like myself with a notion of a fast integrated service.
Cons
I haven't stumbled upon anything I dislike.
Response from Scribe Software
Thanks for your enthusiasm about Scribe Online. We love to hear your feedback!
Beautiful Interface - Connect to anything
Allow multiple Users access to you integration platform which can be accessed anywhere in the world (including setting up the customers as Users). Configuring multiple integrations/migrations from running in parallel without hindering each other from a performance perspective.
Pros
The list of Connectors is ever growing which can be accessed and driven by an intuitive HTML interface which can be used on multiple device types. The performance and Error reporting is brilliant and ease of the drag and drop map designers are brilliant and responsive (especially compared to Silverlight).
Cons
The fact they only just released the HTML interface - the functionality list needs to be on par with Insight (coming soon)
Good For Integration
Less Coding Faster Integrations
Pros
Scribe Online is a good tool for integration between enterprise systems, It is easy to use and a non technical person can also use it. Faster Integration and less coding.
Cons
Even thou there are lot of connections available like Dynamics CRM, Salesforce etc.
There is no connector of Oracle Siebel CRM and Oracle E-Business suite.
Scribe Online
The new Scribe Online UI is great and loads much faster, but I did run into a couple glitches with it:
- If I select/click a Solution from the Dashboard and then choose "Execution History", the history that's displayed is for the last Solution that was opened, not the selected solution.
- Opening a map and then attempting to open an existing "Native Query" block occasionally displays just a white modal screen with no UI elements. This was using Firefox, which is my primary browser when using Scribe.
In addition, the Classic UI had an option to "View Statistics" from the "Execution Detail" which would provide statistics by map, but I don't see that option in the new UI.
Pros
The consolidated dashboad view, ease of use and exporting all the maps in a solution instead of one at a time.
Cons
The issue I've run into the most is just occasional glitches with the UI where it would lock up refreshing a connection or when opening a block I would get a blank modal screen with and had to close the browser.
Scribe Review
I've had nothing but great experiences with Scribe. The original use cases for Salesforce to Azure SQL were 100% satisfied. Since then we've branched out to other endpoints.
Pros
Ease-of-use and time-to-execution. Very easy to ramp up simple integrations in minutes.
Cons
Sharepoint connector required too much tweaking and never got to work.
Well designed ETL tool
Overall im happy with the Scribe Online, price is ok, but most probably not useful for every project we are working on.
Pros
-perfect support by Tibco
-cloud based which matches with other up to date technologies
-easy to use and set up
-lot of connectors available
Cons
It doesn't offer a lot of functionality which you would except form an ETL tool. D365 connectors seem to be buggy at this point of time (probably still under development).
Lacking features, but much faster than silverlight
I could really use the copy/paste block, stack, and map functionality, as well as the ability to export/import individual maps. Ive also had an ongoing error that prevents me from seeing or changing block objects in both FF and Chrome:
"Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined"
Basically if you can combine the features set of the old silverlight setup with the speed and reliability of the crystal setup, Id be happy.
Pros
In the new release, the speed.
Cons
In the new release, lack of features.
expensive
Pros
soo easy to use and implement. good adaptations
Cons
to expensive for many projects
NO SAP-Connector. This forces not to go with Scribe. You should implement an idoc, Bapi ,... connector using typical SAP technologies. Then you'll be the stars
We use scribe to schedule automated data dumps with scripts and is useful.
It helps to integrate CRM with SAP.
Pros
A good tool to integrate multiple database platforms and share data between them. Automated jobs can make it more easy to work with this software.
Cons
More technical and requires consultant assistant and still limited to what data sources it can connect with.
I used it for a proof of concept for a prospective client's integrations. It worked well.
Successfully did the proof of concept that we needed to do.
Pros
Automatic endpoints for Request/Reply map. When we needed technical guidance on the prospect's requirements, The support staff jumped on a call with us to help us understand our options for fulfilling the requirements.
Cons
Sometimes I found the UI could be a bit more responsive, but I would consider this to be very minor.
Great Product
I have been using since v6.0 days. Cloud version of it is great addition to the earlier version to take it to next level.
Pros
Great ETL for migration and easy to use.
Cons
license is the one point makes client think.
Excellent Option for Quick Implementations
Every time that we need to integrate systems we use Scribe, I has proved to be a flexible and reliable tool.
Pros
Fast to implement, Easy to mantain
Cons
There are some limitations with the Online version
Good Software, Need some polishing
Overall I was impressed but I had trouble setting up connections and using lookup tables. Sometimes they would work, sometimes not. It just needs some polishing to make a good product into a great one.
Response from Scribe Software
Thanks for the positive feedback. We added a totally redesigned HTML5 interface as part of our November 2016 release. Additional enhancements to the user experience are coming out in 2017. Stay tuned.
User friendly UI
Fast and reliable Integrations
Complex integrations made easy with Scribe Online
Good Features like error handling, for each child, continue, copy block, import export Maps
Implementation of hierarchical integration would raise the bar for other Integration tool available in the market.
