Boomi iPaaS streamlines integration, boosts ROI over 100%, and saves costs with efficient, rapid deployment and minimal development efforts.
I advocate using Glue in such cases.

Sentiment score
7.5
Boomi iPaaS support is responsive and knowledgeable, with mixed reviews, valuable community resources, and improved service in high-end plans.
Upgrades occur every four months, and new developments coincide with version updates.
For complex Glue-related problems such as job failures or permission issues, their documentation is good, but having direct access to support helps cut down troubleshooting time significantly.
Seamlessly meeting SLAs and providing excellent responses to challenges and issues related to interface and data connectivity.
The tech support is very good, offering immediate responses and chat options.
We receive service that is more than adequate, even exceptional.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
AWS Glue is highly scalable and serverless, praised for easy resource management, but needs better parallel computation.
Sentiment score
7.9
Boomi iPaaS is scalable and versatile but can become expensive with high integration counts and specific setup challenges.
It is beneficial to upgrade jobs, and we conduct extensive testing in development before migrating to production.
It can easily handle data from one terabyte to 100 terabytes or more, scaling nicely with larger datasets.
The reason we wanted to use our own Kubernetes cluster was to do automatic scaling for utilized resources, allowing us to save.
We have built approximately 1,100 interfaces for one customer, which is a significant achievement.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
AWS Glue is stable and reliable with minor issues, scaling well, and efficient due to serverless architecture and tool integration.
Sentiment score
6.5
Boomi iPaaS is generally stable with 99.99% availability, though some users report occasional issues and a learning curve.
AWS Glue is highly stable, and I would rate its stability as nine.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Glue faces challenges with startup times, interface complexity, language limitations, cost, performance, integration, and multi-cloud compatibility.
Boomi iPaaS requires enhanced API management, improved documentation, simplified pricing, better integration, and advanced version control for users.
Migrating jobs from version 3.0 to 4.0 can present compatibility issues.
With AWS, I gather data from multiple sources, clean it up, normalize it, de-duplicate it, and make it presentable.
A more user-friendly and simpler process would help speed up the deployment process.
The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi.
A significant area for improvement is version control.
The ETL aspect of Boomi iPaaS is not mature enough at the moment.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Glue offers flexible, efficient serverless architecture but can be costly and unpredictable, especially for smaller organizations.
Boomi iPaaS offers a connection-based pay-per-use model, praised for its flexibility and competitive pricing despite potential cost increases.
Costing depends on resource usage, and cost optimization may involve redesigning jobs for flexibility.
AWS charges based on runtime, which can be quite pricey.
The smallest cost for a project is around €700, while the largest can reach up to €7,000 based on the scale of the usage.
While pricing is relative, compared to others, it is favorable.
The pricing for Boomi iPaaS is reasonable, costing around $6,000 per year.
 

Valuable Features

AWS Glue excels with its easy interface, scalable ETL processing, seamless AWS integration, affordability, and serverless architecture.
Boomi iPaaS offers flexible, scalable integration with low-code tools, enhancing speed and efficiency for medium-sized organizations.
For ETL, I feel the performance is excellent. If I create jobs in a standard way, the performance is great, and maintenance is also seamless.
AWS Glue's most valuable features include its transformation capabilities, which provide data quality and shape for processing in ML or AI models.
AWS Glue has reduced efforts by 60%, which is the main benefit.
It automates the creation and population of a data warehouse, reducing the need to write SQL scripts and procedures.
The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration.
The maturity of the product is significant.

Enables seamless integration and data preparation with robust transformation capabilities
AWS Glue's most valuable features include its transformation capabilities, which provide data quality and shape for processing in ML or AI models. It offers transformation options on canvas or through ETL pipelines, notebooks, and code. Additionally, it supports data preparation, cleaning, and filtering seamlessly. AWS Glue also enhances job scheduling and orchestration capabilities, integrating with AWS Glue Studio for comprehensive data workflow management.
Eugene Paden - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
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.
