Boomi iPaaS Reviews

My main use case for Boomi iPaaS is integration, as I have been integrating Boomi iPaaS with many source and destination systems such as Salesforce.

I use Boomi iPaaS as an integrator, connecting with Salesforce, which is a CRM tool, and NetSuite, which is an ERP tool, and I have backed up everything into a database. I have integrated all these systems through Boomi iPaaS, and I am also sending data to various websites using APIs with the HTTP connector in Boomi iPaaS and MDH from Master Data Hub, which is also in Boomi iPaaS, or Boomi Flow.

Additionally, I am using Boomi Agent Garden, Boomi API Studio, and Boomi MDH.

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.

In terms of improvements, there is not much to enhance, but I believe a more user-friendly UI, solid Agent Garden features, and more training initiatives to promote Boomi iPaaS would be beneficial.

I wish Boomi iPaaS had more up-to-date authentication systems such as Microsoft Authenticator and Okta. Additionally, for documentation, they should prepare comprehensive documentation for all Boomi iPaaS products instead of a page-by-page website.

Though Boomi iPaaS is the best tool, it still requires improvement in reaching more people through training, appropriate documentation, and customer support, as their support team is not adequately trained.

Boomi iPaaS is indeed very stable.

In terms of scalability, I find it highly scalable, and I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

Regarding customer support, I would rate it as above average at about 60%.

Positive

I previously used TIBCO, a very old system, and I switched to Boomi iPaaS for its cloud capabilities.

Before selecting Boomi iPaaS, I evaluated other options such as WebMethods Integration, Workato, and MuleSoft.

I have observed a 100% return on investment, with considerable time saved and clients very happy with the output they received. Concerning fewer employees needed, Boomi iPaaS is indeed an automated developer system, leading to a need for fewer employees to manage the integration process.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates it is a little bit high but still reasonable.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Boomi iPaaS a perfect 10. The reason I give it a 10 is that it is the best integration tool I have used until now, and it does not have any competitors at this moment.

My advice for others looking into using Boomi iPaaS is simple: go for it.

Boomi iPaaS is another integration or ETL tool that I am currently using. I recently started working, and it has been hardly five to six months. I need some time to understand the entire Boomi iPaaS because I have hardly delivered a couple of processes only. I am currently working as a Boomi iPaaS developer.

For the previous six months, I was working on a migration project where we were migrating data from Informatica. We were migrating the design from Informatica to Boomi iPaaS. There was not much initial user requirement. It was just a matter of whatever syntax we had built in Informatica, we were migrating to Boomi iPaaS. The current project is still something I need to understand in terms of what exactly the business requirement is. I have not received the use cases yet.

Integration is very good, but I am looking for AI capabilities which can help us to reduce our workload. That is something I am looking for in terms of AI capabilities. Integration-wise, it is a pretty good tool.

I used a database connector. It is pretty good, actually. Those are easy to handle. Database connectors and SFTP connectors are very easy to handle and easy to connect. The pre-built connectors and functionalities they have will definitely be helpful. However, it is very time-consuming, and whatever the pre-built connectors and functionalities they provide, managing them is time-consuming yet easy to handle.

I think data governance and data catalog are areas that Boomi iPaaS can focus on. Informatica has data catalog and data lineage functionalities, in addition to their ETL capabilities. Boomi iPaaS can work on the same concept where you can build your own data governance and get data lineage. That is something functionality they should look into.

I recently started working, and it has been hardly five to six months.

We are actually using Boomi in Kubernetes clusters. We deploy it in our own clusters for performance, specifically within the retail industry. Due to the high volumes and numerous integrations, we use Boomi to connect to delivery partners for same-day delivery of products. 

We have a significant number of integrations for our clients, primarily compact with multi-system sources. For example, an order might come from online or through phone. We then determine which delivery partner will handle it, considering they have their own systems. We also monitor the status to see if it has been picked up or delivered.

The maturity of the product is significant. It has been proven in the industry, and we have used it for a long time. When developers learn how to use it, they become productive sooner. 

With Boomi, once your product or order is ready, we connect it with Arbitrate. This helps us choose the delivery partner based on location and price and who can deliver within the necessary time frame.

There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. 

Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

I have used the solution for about four years.

There are some stability issues.

It can scale well. The reason we wanted to use our own Kubernetes cluster was to do automatic scaling for utilized resources, allowing us to save. Running it on AtomSphere has limitations, making us want to bypass those.

I haven't worked with support directly, however, I have a good relationship with their teams. Whenever we need something, we receive service that is more than adequate, even exceptional.

Neutral

We use several platforms. The difference with Boomi is that it is a generic integration platform. Other platforms we work with are more focused on data platform integrations, mostly for reporting or data warehousing. 

Boomi allows nearly real-time integration, enabling end-to-end processes in real-time. We use Data Factory for data transformations, offering prebuilt integrations for existing systems.

The setup is straightforward. The only challenge might be acquiring the SSL keys to secure communications. Once you have the certificates up and running, the process involves calling, connecting, and proceeding with your tasks.

Some returns on investment are very high, often within three to six months. Others take longer, depending on the integration being implemented. The return is faster since development efforts are minimized, allowing for quicker integration delivery.

Pricing varies and they have changed it over the years. It depends on the company size and the value derived from the platform. While pricing is relative, compared to others, it is favorable.

Clients cover the costs, however, we provide an assessment to justify choosing Boomi. Companies often misunderstand ROI, seeing it as high, yet it equates to one or two full-time staff costs, addressing many needs.

Boomi is particularly beneficial for improving operations and processes. While systems claim to integrate, they often operate independently. Boomi serves as an effective intermediary, facilitating communication between systems like CRM and billing platforms. For those with integration needs, Boomi is recommended. 

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Positive

I have been using Boomi iPaaS, primarily for integration processes involving SAP systems and CRM systems on the cloud, particularly in the pharma industry. I needed to create a connector that could connect these systems, consolidate data into one workflow, and provide an end-user content interface.

Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems. It has also enhanced workflow efficiency by handling errors in data mismatches and has facilitated faster onboarding of new partners in our business network.

The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration. Additionally, API management has been beneficial for data integration, specifically in terms of data aggregation and creating experience APIs.

The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi.

I have been dealing with Boomi iPaaS for about four years.

The technical support from Boomi is good, seamlessly meeting SLAs and providing excellent responses to challenges and issues related to interface and data connectivity.

Positive

Before using Boomi, the onboarding of partners was time-consuming and required substantial custom development. Boomi's low code and out-of-the-box connectors have significantly reduced the time and effort required for these tasks.

Boomi is recommended for complex integration in hybrid cloud environments with multiple enterprise systems. It is particularly effective when there is a combination of SAP and CRM systems.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Positive

We use Boomi for integration. I manage the Boomi team at my company.  

Every product has its pros and cons. Boomi has some drawbacks, but it's generally okay. It could be better in terms of features, flexibility, and especially storage. We have issues there.

In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process.

Other products like TIBCO or IBM have simpler transaction tracking by ID. In Boomi, it's much more time-consuming. We need to go through each and every timestamp and identify the transaction details. It is a pain point for us. 

We use Boomi only for process execution. We used it for API and APM but switched to Azure APM. The low latency mode is another pain point. General mode consumes a lot of resources, but to have adequate logging information, we need to deploy in general mode. 

Whereas low latency gives very good throughput and good performance, but we are losing a lot of important information. So these are the some of the aspects. 

We've been using it for four years.

It has been a stable product.

Scalability is another challenge for us. It is not scalable, not for our architecture and implementation setup. It hasn't been scalable for us.

It's used across multiple countries, so there are quite a few end users using this in our company.  

The technical support is good, albeit a bit expensive. We used to have professional services but now manage it internally with other vendors.

Support is actually very good. Response speed depends. Only for P1 and high-priority cases do you get quick responses. Otherwise, we need to chase them for P2, P3, or P4. We might wait a while for traction. But knowledge-wise, support is good. They have good people with good knowledge.

So, I would rate it a seven out of ten for knowledge and support, but perhaps a lower score for response speed on lower-priority cases.

Unless we go with professional services, it's expensive. Regular support is okay, though.

Neutral

The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high. Maybe Boomi is making changes recently, planning to triple the prices. That's a significant increase, and that's not gonna work at all for us.

We are planning to switch from Boomi. We are looking at Azure Logic App and Software AG. We're just exploring and have a year before making a decision.

For Boomi, if your integration scope and work are limited, you can go with it. But for complex landscapes with multiple systems and close transaction monitoring, especially in finance or insurance, then you should look for more futuristic tools.

We've worked with many integration tools. For Boomi specifically, I'd rate it a six out of ten.

Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a product used in some major pharmaceutical companies, making it quite a good solution. I had previously been in a major project where the solution was used. The solution is useful for integration with the data warehouse and SAP systems.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems.

I have not been so deeply involved that I could comment on what needs improvement in the solution. In general, I have not been an actual high-level user of the solution to comment on details concerning improvement in the tool.

I remember that one of my customers felt that Boomi AtomSphere Integration was a highly expensive product, owing to which they were looking for cheaper solutions. The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required.

I have experience with Boomi AtomSphere Integration's latest version.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

My clients who use the solution are mostly enterprise-sized businesses.

I rate the product's initial setup an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

The solution is deployed on a private cloud.

The solution's deployment phase took weeks to be completed.

I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

In my company, we use many video conferencing tools. I have seen that in video conferencing tools, the counterparts are very different. I have experience with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Tencent Meeting.

I was not deeply involved in Boomi AtomSphere Integration since it was already up and running when I joined my company's project. I could look back in the past to find out the product's history, and that is the most I can do. I know what the product is used for, but I can't go too much into the details.

Whether I would recommend the product or not actually depends on what a customer wants to achieve with the solution while also considering factors like the experience of the integration team and the kind of support a customer has in their company. It is not just about the technology but also the skills of a company or the partners with whom a company has relations.

Compared to Boomi AtomSphere Integration, there are easier products around, like MuleSoft or Jitterbit. I see MuleSoft or Jitterbit evolving since they have established a lot of integrations, depending on the markets and other things. From my perspective, Jitterbit was easier to operate and set up, while MuleSoft tried to simplify their product a lot when compared to Boomi AtomSphere Integration. MuleSoft started off as a very complex product, but now it's getting easier and easier, and MuleSoft now has a lite version. I didn't hear anything about Boomi AtomSphere Integration, especially in terms of major product improvements, which I know about.

I rate the overall tool a six out of ten.

I use Boomi AtomSphere Integration in my company to manage all types of integrations, including SAP integrations, database integrations, and other enterprise-level integrations.

It allows to migrate to new PaaS services without changing the core of the entrprise  application architecture

The most valuable features of the solution are its mapping functionality and the low-code, no-code nature of the product.

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.

I have been using Boomi AtomSphere Integration for 0ver 8 years. My company has a partnership with Boomi AtomSphere Integration.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Considering my company's clients, I think that a couple of thousand users use the solution.

It alsso works seamensly with Kubernetes conyainer platforms like OpenShift

I have had no issues with the product to contact the technical support team.

Positive

In the past, I have used other tools.

My company chose Boomi AtomSphere Integration since it is easy to use, cost-effective, and offers a large set of functionalities.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on an on-premises model.

I am not engaged with the part involving the product's return on investment. My company's customers who use the product have experienced a good return on investment.

Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle. I don't know the exact price of the product.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business.

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.

One area that could be improved is the CI/CD process. Currently, we use Azure DevOps for CI/CD to deploy Boomi AtomSphere Integration changes to the preferred and productive environments. While it provides deployment scripts, maintaining a comprehensive list of components for deployment can be tedious. There needs to be an easier way to do CI/CD deployment. 

I have been using the product for two and a half years. 

The tool is generally stable, but we sometimes face minor issues when updating it. For example, the user interface might not refresh correctly. 

It seems like our current setup has scalability limitations. We've reached the maximum capacity, so we can't scale up or out anymore. This is causing some issues, especially when dealing with large files or complex processes. For example, sending data to other systems via an HTTP feed endpoint can take longer than 30 minutes. My company has four users. 

I've had positive experiences with the tech support team. They respond quickly, especially with the initial response to my inquiries. Even for multiple issues or questions, they're prompt in addressing them.

The tool's deployment is straightforward and familiar to me. We can easily test solutions in different environments, like development, testing, and production. We utilize CI/CD for our support processes. We maintain an XML file containing the component ID, integration version, and other necessary details. Then, we run the CI/CD PowerShell script in DevOps, which automatically retrieves the component details and deploys them to the target environment.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.
