We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations.""I like the tool's optimization feature.""Low-code development is the most valuable feature.""It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI.""I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration.""It is easy to learn and implement.""This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently.""Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."

"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well.""Feature-wise, I like it since it allows you to integrate with multiple applications. There are available connectors that allow you to integrate.""The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability.""The most valuable features of the SAP Cloud Platform are the extensions and integrations. Additionally, there are a lot of AI-based microservices.""The solution can scale.""Scalability is one of the benefits that we have in using the product.""It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it.""SAP has provided very good support."

More SAP Cloud Platform Pros →

Cons
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience.""Documentation could be improved.""We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year.""In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology.""There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow.""There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available.""Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc.""Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."

More Boomi iPaaS Cons →

"I can’t speak to features that may be missing.""One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization.""Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information.""The solution requires more flexibility overall.""Planning features are limited to the finance module.""The current pricing model is credit-based. We would like to have more information about the usage of the existing applications.""My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery.""In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
  • "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 licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
  • "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."
  • "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 cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "Approximately 20k annually."
  • More Boomi iPaaS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
  • "SAP's pricing is usually high compared to the competition. But this is also justified because they hold their products and services to quite high standards."
  • "The pricing can be negotiated."
  • "The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
  • "SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."
  • "Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
  • "SAP Cloud Platform costs $2 to $5 per hour, while I found other platforms way more affordable. You have to pay per use, though that's fine because that means the cost is flexible."
  • "The price of the solution depends on the package that is purchased. There are many packages to choose from. The packages are not overly expensive."
