Cloud integration has transformed projects and delivers faster, more secure business workflows
In my opinion, the best feature Boomi iPaaS offers is its user interface, which is easy to maintain, has a low cost, and offers low licensing costs, making it very easy to develop any integration. Regarding features, Boomi iPaaS performs best and is more stable. It also has easy support, allowing me to contact the Boomi support vendor team for assistance with atoms, molecules, runtimes, and clusters. Security-wise, it is also more secure, enabling the use of internal OAuth 2.0 tokens and basic authentication for high-level authentication, and I can integrate with third-party services to obtain authentication, with some banking projects in Boomi iPaaS using PayU, Razorpay, and various payment platform authentications. The positive impact of Boomi iPaaS on my organization has been significant, as after adopting it, I received many projects with the help of the Boomi vendor who brought me opportunities for Boomi iPaaS usage. Previously, I used TIBCO, MFT, and WebMethods, which were all very old systems. Boomi iPaaS is cloud-based and continues to update constantly, which has been very useful and led to more business. I can definitely say I see specific positive outcomes after moving to Boomi iPaaS, noting improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and faster project delivery. The connector-based licensing cost is very low compared to other integration tools, and for security purposes, it is helpful. I have observed significant good performance transitioning from old legacy systems to Boomi iPaaS.

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.

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

Pros

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"Integration-wise, it is a pretty good tool."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"Boomi iPaaS has significantly impacted our ROI. We have automated complete order-to-cash processes for multiple customers, saving over 90 million dollars."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The initial setup is easy."
"SAP is the best solution for them to integrate with many other third-party systems or other VRP systems."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
 

Cons

"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"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."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"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."
"The company has come out with a new version, SAP Cloud Integrator, which is not as good as the older version."
"The solution isn't meant to scale when high-volume transactions are in play; the scalability could improve."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
 

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"
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"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."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"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 price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"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."
