Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP and others in Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS).
We have automated complete order-to-cash processes for multiple customers, saving over 90 million dollars.
The return is faster since development efforts are minimized, allowing for quicker integration delivery.
It is considered cost-efficient because it leads to the re-utilization of channels and platforms, which saves time and money.
Seamlessly meeting SLAs and providing excellent responses to challenges and issues related to interface and data connectivity.
The tech support is very good, offering immediate responses and chat options.
We receive service that is more than adequate, even exceptional.
When opening a ticket with the global team, problems are resolved promptly and effectively.
The technical support from IBM is good.
Their support aligns with what I have experienced with Informatica data quality teams, and it is quite effective.
Informatica's technical support team is very supportive and provides help whenever required.
The support was good enough, and they were able to resolve all the issues I raised in the past.
The reason we wanted to use our own Kubernetes cluster was to do automatic scaling for utilized resources, allowing us to save.
We have built approximately 1,100 interfaces for one customer, which is a significant achievement.
IBM App Connect demonstrates good scalability.
I would rate the scalability of IBM App Connect as nine out of ten.
Some companies require multiple configurations, including ODBC connections, JDBC connections, different BI databases, main databases, and replication servers.
Technical errors sometimes occur, such as network breakages at the source level, which breaks connectivity.
The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi.
A significant area for improvement is version control.
The ETL aspect of Boomi iPaaS is not mature enough at the moment.
Version 13 includes around 200 features with cloud platform compatibility.
I find it particularly good for on-premises and now cloud use.
One area that could be improved is performance, as PowerExchange sometimes has less performance compared to native connectors when dealing with a huge volume of data.
The addition of data quality dashboards or measures would also help in profiling data to assess its health before sharing or moving it.
While pricing is relative, compared to others, it is favorable.
The pricing for Boomi iPaaS is reasonable, costing around $6,000 per year.
For insurance companies with simple JDBC connections, the process is straightforward.
The pricing and cost depend heavily on SAP's licensing structure, especially if using SAP integration services.
Informatica PowerExchange is considered cost-efficient due to reduced number of APIs needed.
It automates the creation and population of a data warehouse, reducing the need to write SQL scripts and procedures.
The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration.
The maturity of the product is significant.
The transformation capabilities in IBM App Connect are particularly beneficial.
The features I find most valuable are message routing, message transformation, and protocol translation.
It also reduces the number of APIs needed for new integrations by offering a unified exchange platform.
PowerExchange is one of the best software solutions to build integrations with non-Oracle or standard database services, especially for SAP and Hana products.
The primary advantage of Informatica PowerExchange is being able to extract data from source systems that Informatica does not natively support.
The Boomi AtomSphere integration platform as a service (iPaaS) supports all your application integration processes – between cloud platforms, software-as-a-service applications, and on-premises systems. Your entire team has online access to a powerful range of integration and data management capabilities, that can be realized in a fraction of the time of legacy middleware technologies.
Rapidly connect public clouds, private clouds and on-premises application
