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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs
The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"The maturity of the product is significant."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"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."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"The stability is excellent."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
 

Cons

"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"Documentation could be improved."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"Approximately 20k annually."
