Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration vs Boomi iPaaS comparison

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."

"The product is robust."

"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."

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."

"The maturity of the product is significant."

"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."

"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."

"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."

"I like the tool's optimization feature."

"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."

"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."

"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."

"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."

"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."

"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."

"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."

"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."

"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."

"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."

"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."

"Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."

"The product is not expensive."

"API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."

"Approximately 20k annually."

"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."

"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 not reasonable at all. It's very high."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
