Featured Reviews

ShashankRavikumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions
The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.
SaurabhGaonshindhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Modular structure and AI features stream new reporting processes
One of my clients has a requirement; they want to integrate metadata into the process, which means, for example, if I just want to implement a new field into my database, that field needs to be reflected throughout, let's say, 200 mappings. This highlights the need for a data-driven approach. My experience with technical support from Informatica is quite interesting; I would rate it as nine out of ten for Informatica PowerCenter kind of products or the Informatica integration products, because my team can do some hands-on using their free licenses or one-month kind of products. However, for products Master Data Management or related to MDM or Data Governance, there is no way by which we can directly practice, and my team struggles at that point.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's stability is good."
"Integrations take less time."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"Informatica Business Process Manager is easy to use and learn."
"The dictionary, the search, and the ratings are without a doubt the most beneficial components of this solution."
"The scalability is very high."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
 

Cons

"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Informatica MDM could be improved by adding drag and drop options, business data insights, and visualization reporting."
"It could be a bit more intuitive, rather than technically complex."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"Its cloud-based version has a few limitations compared to the on-premise version."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"The price is reasonable."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It's pretty high for us. It's more on the higher side, like low to middle high."
"My understanding is that Informatica is quite expensive compare to other tools that are available in the market."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
