Integration and Solution Architect/AI Engineer (Boomi and Workday) at Tech Bridger
Enables swift integration and automation for seamless order-to-cash processes
Boomi iPaaS offers different modules based on customer use cases, which I find valuable. The integrations and API management are particularly beneficial. The setup process is straightforward, and within three days, you can start working on Boomi iPaaS. It provides automation for everything from order to cash, which is thoroughly documented, tracked, and streamlined within Boomi iPaaS. Additionally, Boomi aids initiatives involving AI by allowing prompts to create integrations and automatically generating documentation.

Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
 

Cons

"Documentation could be improved."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"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."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"There are stability issues."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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"
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
