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

"Integrations take less time."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"The product's stability is good."
"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 stability of the solution is good."
"There were no scalability issues."
"The integration and API Connect are valuable when we need to connect with web services and REST APIs."
"This solution is very flexible, and it's very compatible with the other Azure products."
"Easy to integrate API management platform. It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the developer portal, which has source code examples in various programming languages to help developers learn the API."
"The mediation and translation from SOAP to REST technology makes it possible to open up legacy systems that couldn't be opened before."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the integration of CI/CD with the API gateway."
"We use this solution for API rate limiting and for its security features against DDoS."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"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."
"Latency is an area that needs improvement, especially for multi-tenant applications."
"The product needs to introduce a developer portal."
"I rate the technical support from Microsoft Azure API Management a four out of five."
"The implementation has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Azure API Management could improve by having better integration with third-party solutions."
"There is a limitation of 32 kb of data in the APIs. Having the limitation increase would be a benefit."
"In terms of improvement, it would be helpful if they could develop an on-premises option."
"Microsoft Azure API Management is lagging behind Apigee and should also have a better CICD process."

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The price is reasonable."
"Microsoft Azure is an expensive solution not for the large enterprises but for the medium and small."
"The solution is highly expensive. Our customers worry about the costs. The price should be a lot less."

"Since this is a cloud-based solution you have to abide by those financial limits, this creates some different challenges compared to other solutions."
