Enhances application integration with scalability, reliability, and security
Boomi AtomSphere Flow facilitates data availability across different departments, allowing our clients to generate diverse analytical reports that aid senior management in making informed decisions. The integration layer ensures data security, which is supported by Boomi's EDA and API management capabilities. The solution unites all these functions, preventing the need for separate products for specific operations.

The solution enables automation of supply chain and invoice processing with comprehensive integration and workflow capabilities
The main valuable features of OpenText AppWorks are the BPM modules. There is the standard BPM modeler and a case modeler. These are two strong features from the workflow layer. Additionally, the integration capability of the solution is beneficial. With these features, we are able to use OpenText AppWorks for automating supply-chain-related problems, vendor process automations, and invoice automations. We have built almost twenty-plus types of solutions and implemented around three hundred fifty-plus implementations. The solution also allows us to integrate it with our ERP system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is very easy to develop and maintain compared to other tools like SAP HANA Cloud Integration or Cloud Platform."
"The most valuable features include the ease of designing Boomi flows and the significant cost savings and reduced time to market they offer our clients."
"In the long run, if you have a good team, solution architect, and an architect from Boomi's side, then it is a good tool from an ROI perspective since it can help save money."
"Boomi enhances application integration with scalability, reliability, and security."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow gives us flexibility."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its core integration with Boomi AtomSphere because it's extremely easy to tap into any informational system of a company."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is integrated through APIs, it exposes the API and any product can call the APIs in the queue. Additionally, it is secure."
"The good part of OpenText AppWorks is that all of its components are together in one platform, including integration capability, UI capability, and workflow capability."
"We've automated several processes, including purchase requisition to purchase orders, RFQ processes, vendor onboarding, project budgeting, and business case creation. The recent versions of OpenText AppWorks, especially those incorporating low-code functionalities, have had a significant positive impact. In some cases, we've observed a remarkable reduction in development time, ranging from 50 to 75 percent. The MTP model and life cycle have facilitated rapid development cycles."
"AppWorks is a very quick development platform with low-coding capability and strong integration with third-party systems."
"OpenText AppWorks has standard features such as system-to-system and human-to-human integrations, but what I find most valuable in the solution is its monitoring feature that tells you more about your processes, how to restart and how to stop each process, etc."
"One of the most useful features is the code is customizable, we can make it our own."
"From a business perspective, the most valuable aspect lies in the optimization of processes."
"In terms of the scalability and the handling of complexity, the customers are satisfied, and we also have confidence in the solution to achieve whatever implementations are required."
"We really appreciate the process automation and how can you create human tasks as one of your processes."
 

Cons

"The solution's user interface building needs improvement."
"The technical support is rated around 6.5 to seven out of ten. It lacks clarity on how to reach out, write emails, or understand responsiveness."
"There is room for improvement in Boomi's AI capabilities."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. The whole solution is used through an interface and it could always be improved."
"The development effort with Boomi AtomSphere Flow is more when you compare it with other tools, which is a drawback and an area of improvement."
"Its stability could be improved."
"Boomi is not as flexible compared to other integration products like IBM's. For complex integration scenarios, Boomi could improve its flexibility."
"A room for improvement in OpenText AppWorks is its user interface. It should have mobile compatibility because right now, you still have to make two applications with a user interface for Android and a user interface for iOS, so if OpenText AppWorks can provide one UI that can be used across all devices, that would make the solution better. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of OpenText AppWorks is a better UI in terms of the look and feel. Another feature I'd like to see in the next version of the solution is mobile compatibility because, at the moment, you have to make your application mobile-ready or compatible with mobile devices because there's no provision for it in OpenText AppWorks."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"OpenText AppWork's low-code capabilities can be enhanced by integrating them with AI offerings like Aviator."
"There could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
"From an enterprise point, their pricing is a little bit crazy because they don't have a SaaS model."
"AppWorks could be improved by including BPM simulation."
"The integration could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you use Boomi AtomSphere Flow in production, you have to pay for licenses. The solution is not expensive but it could be cheaper."
"Since its pricing positioning has a different construction with respect to its competitors, the solution is sometimes way more expensive and sometimes less expensive."
"The price is on the higher side."
"Pricing for OpenText AppWorks, specifically in the Indian market, is reasonable, but I'm not aware if it's still reasonable outside of India. The licensing cost is based on the number of licenses and the number of users. OpenText AppWorks has different licensing options."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
"There is a user-based perpetual license."
"The licensing cost varies based on several factors, such as the size of the customer and the domain URL."
