Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions
The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.

Facilitating seamless integration and robust security support
The integration process is very easy, which is crucial for our organization. Another valuable aspect is the support from Microsoft. Whenever support is required, it is readily available. Additionally, I appreciate the technical expertise Microsoft brings to the table. The security features are highly satisfactory, with various options providing flexibility to implement security measures based on specific compliance requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"Integrations take less time."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"Integration is straightforward. There is no issue with it."
"The product's stability is good."
"The documentation and configuration of APIs."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is 90 to 99 percent scalable. We have three instances running in parallel."
"Allows the possibility of VPN technology to connect your gateway directly with on-prem services"
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure API Management is the developer portal because it's very quick and easy to get something published."
"The product gives API gateway-related features, like throttling, which are easy to use and low-code/no-code."
"We use this solution for API rate limiting and for its security features against DDoS."
"The ability to easily connect back to Service Fabric is the most important for us."
"It seems quite good so far. It handles our current workload well, and I'm optimistic it can scale effectively as our needs grow."
 

Cons

"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management has very few features. If you ask me to name the top two, I would say MuleSoft and Apigee, as it depends on the customer-to-customer use cases."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"Expansion to global regions is a point for improvement, as licensing is costly."
"Performance issues from this platform need to be sorted out."
"Documentations for implementing certain product features are very difficult to find"
"Azure API Management could be improved with better integration with all of Microsoft's tools."
"It can be quite complex, somewhat lacking in flexibility."
"The licensing fees should be cheaper."
"Specific to API development, I think Microsoft is still far behind AWS. AWS has grown by leaps and bounds, and Microsoft is a close second. But in terms of features and other stuff they provide, Microsoft's compatibility with publicly available APIs is a little limited. So, that is a little bit of a constraint. But what they provide is good, it's just that they need to build more on their API suite. I think Google is doing a really good job at that."
"They should improve the inbuilt policies that they have and that should properly create a deployment architecture as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"Azure API Management is the most expensive solution on the market."
"There are no additional costs above the main license."
"Since everyone is isocentric here, it is reasonable for me."
"It costs around 30,000 Kronas a month, which translates to about $3,000 dollars monthly."
"Microsoft is competitively priced."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to others."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing between three and four, as it could be more competitive."
