Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity

There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

Great for handling large volumes of data, but it is priced a bit high

When I do coding, I think about every single function. Some of these functions can be very elementary, like doing a substring or some capitalization. But FME removes all that coding because it's a transformer, so the time to develop an application to get to a point where you're producing results is decreased massively. It used to take weeks and months to develop software, and now I can use something like FME, and within one day, we get results. We can look at and validate data. We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."

"I have found the solution to be scalable."

"Boomi iPaaS makes it easy to organize ETL procedures that populate data warehouses."

"I like the tool's optimization feature."

"It has been a stable product."

"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."

"The maturity of the product is significant."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources."

"FME is spatially aware and understands how to deal with the conversion of spatial objects and their attributes."

"From my reseller perspective, the best features in FME are the ease of operation and the fact that it works."

"All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable."

"It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis."

"The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process."

"We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else."

Cons

"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."

"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."

"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."

"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."

"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."

"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."

"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."

"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point."

"FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions."

"To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues."

"FME's price needs improvement for the African market."

"Improvements could be made to mapping presentations."

"We are looking at the possibility of using Glue instead of FME, using the native AWS product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Approximately 20k annually."

"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."

"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"The product's price is reasonable."

"FME Server used to cost £10,000; now it can cost over £100,000."

"We used the standard licensing for our use of FME. The cost was approximately €15,000 annually. We always welcome less expensive solutions, if the solution could be less expensive it would be helpful."
