Eugene Paden - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Alan Bloor - PeerSpot reviewer
Great for handling large volumes of data, but it is priced a bit high
When I do coding, I think about every single function. Some of these functions can be very elementary, like doing a substring or some capitalization. But FME removes all that coding because it's a transformer, so the time to develop an application to get to a point where you're producing results is decreased massively. It used to take weeks and months to develop software, and now I can use something like FME, and within one day, we get results. We can look at and validate data. We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Boomi iPaaS makes it easy to organize ETL procedures that populate data warehouses."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"It has been a stable product."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
More Boomi iPaaS pros
"The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process."
"It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources."
"From my reseller perspective, the best features in FME are the ease of operation and the fact that it works."
"We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else."
"It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis."
"FME is spatially aware and understands how to deal with the conversion of spatial objects and their attributes."
"All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable."
 

Cons

"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"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."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
More Boomi iPaaS cons
"FME's price needs improvement for the African market."
"To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues."
"The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point."
"We are looking at the possibility of using Glue instead of FME, using the native AWS product."
"Improvements could be made to mapping presentations."
"FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"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."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice
"FME Server used to cost £10,000; now it can cost over £100,000."
"We used the standard licensing for our use of FME. The cost was approximately €15,000 annually. We always welcome less expensive solutions, if the solution could be less expensive it would be helpful."
"The product's price is reasonable."
