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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"Boomi iPaaS makes it easy to organize ETL procedures that populate data warehouses."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"The stability is excellent."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
 

Cons

"Although Boomi iPaaS is top in the market, there might be room for improvement in the ETL aspect, which was recently integrated as another module. This aspect of Boomi iPaaS is not mature enough at the moment."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"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."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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"
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
