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.

Used for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks
I use Matillion ETL for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation. Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for…

Though the tool offers a visually appealing UI, it needs to improve its documentation
With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation. The product has many bugs, so users have to wait for a period ranging from five minutes to an hour to see where the Zap went. In Zapier, Zaps aren't very understandable owing to the way they work. As a user, you would think that in Zapier, a Zap works in a particular way once you set it up, but it won't happen. At times, some Zaps can interfere with each other, because of which there might be infinite loops that may occur, owing to which multiple Zaps continue to run or break down in general, after which nothing would run in your environment. You would not be notified about the breakdown of Zaps. The bugs in the product may be considered to understand or get an explanation of how Zaps works between software systems, so for something between Gmail and HubSpot, Zapier would explain through better documentation what would work and what wouldn't work. Maybe if Zapier had better functionality with Python or any other coding language in general, it would make the product a lot better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"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."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"Boomi iPaaS has significantly impacted our ROI. We have automated complete order-to-cash processes for multiple customers, saving over 90 million dollars."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up."
"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"Zapier is the tool with the most connectors and has been quite forward in that case."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The initial setup is pretty easy to do."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier."
"Zapier's interface, for me, is the solution's greatest value proposition. It is designed and developed for people who don't have a clue about what they're trying to do. It has a very user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"There are stability issues."
"Boomi iPaaS needs better source control. It is not as good as it could be in terms of managing versions and running what-if scenarios."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Although Boomi iPaaS is top in the market, there might be room for improvement in the ETL aspect, which was recently integrated as another module. This aspect of Boomi iPaaS is not mature enough at the moment."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"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."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing could be a little cheaper."
"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."
"Zapier needs to improve in the same way most RPA solutions should, such as Robocorp, Make, or UiPath. They are not good at helping you find the connections that you need for the problem that you have. For example, if need something on Instagram. I'm going to have to do research for hours to be able to find the components or the app, which is going to do what I need it to do. It makes it difficult to use the system when you don't know what to use."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"Zapier needs more YouTube or video tutorials or more training for people. That would help a lot. In particular, Zapier should have documentation for every connector. Its documentation needs to be more detailed and visual."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive platform."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"Its price depends on what you expect. You pay on a monthly basis, but there is a possibility to have special contracts depending on the installation."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"The solution is very cheap. You're paying $2.50 an hour and if you set your service up, which you can do, you're not getting charged. Currently, our ETL process is just an overnight process that runs for about an hour. I can start and stop my server just for an hour if I want to and spent $2.50 a day for an ETL solution. There are no additional costs."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The pricing depends on what edition the customer opts for. For example, the standard edition is priced at $2.00 per credit. And you are only charged when you use it. You're not charged when it's idle."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."
"Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
"Zapier is a paid service. Its license renews monthly, and Zapier will downgrade your subscription to the free version when your credit card doesn't have funds. That significantly impacts your service because everything halts completely. Zapier doesn't have any hidden costs."
"Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
"Zapier's price is good."
"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
"It's very straightforward licensing. There's only one cost you have to pay, and if you want a relevant pricing plan, I think you have two or three different models or packages which include the number of notifications or Zaps, as they call it, that you can program."
"Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
