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.

A scalable tool that needs a lot of maintenance due to its unstable nature
Governance, data dictionary, and data cataloging are not available in Informatica Enterprise Data Lake. A lot of businesses are facing issues related to understanding the area revolving around insights of data. At Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's level, in our company, we have a lot of redundant data in a lot of our core systems. The basic thing that our company wants is for the product to develop a reporting layer and access data from the document layer so that we can avoid duplication in projects, databases, and data. There is a lot of maintenance to be done owing to the instability users may face every time because of the huge processing capacity as the company has around more than 50 nodes, which causes a lot of maintenance issues because of which a lot of people don't benefit from the platform as it functions in a slow manner. Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems. Every time, we have to find different tools we can use in our company with the solution since it doesn't support many real-time systems. Even if our company invests in some tools, Informatica Enterprise Data Lake creates too many small files with some issues, which we cannot read because we invested in HBase and Kudu, but performance-wise, the process is slow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."
"Boomi iPaaS makes it easy to organize ETL procedures that populate data warehouses."
"The process of using the tool's scalability option is well documented."
 

Cons

"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"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."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"Documentation could be improved."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
