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 iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The maturity of the product is significant."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"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."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"Boomi iPaaS needs better source control. It is not as good as it could be in terms of managing versions and running what-if scenarios."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"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."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"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."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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"
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"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."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
