Enables swift integration and automation for seamless order-to-cash processes

Boomi iPaaS offers different modules based on customer use cases, which I find valuable. The integrations and API management are particularly beneficial. The setup process is straightforward, and within three days, you can start working on Boomi iPaaS. It provides automation for everything from order to cash, which is thoroughly documented, tracked, and streamlined within Boomi iPaaS. Additionally, Boomi aids initiatives involving AI by allowing prompts to create integrations and automatically generating documentation.

Significant email security benefits combined with efficient spam filtering, yet cost hinders long-term use

The integration with our on-prem Exchange was very straightforward; the only thing we did was redirect all email traffic over Proofpoint, so Proofpoint did everything independently, and we were very happy. I am still receiving emails from Proofpoint's site. Not using it at the moment, but in the short term we will be tackling that portion of the product as well. We cannot provide feedback regarding Dynamics because we are not experienced enough at the moment; we have initiatives going on but did not get enough feedback from end users. Based on my overall experience with Proofpoint, considering the cost perspective, I would rate it a 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Boomi iPaaS has significantly impacted our ROI. We have automated complete order-to-cash processes for multiple customers, saving over 90 million dollars."

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."

"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."

"I have found the solution to be scalable."

"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."

"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."

"It is easy to learn and implement."

"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"The documentation is excellent, and it includes a developer portal, which helps create a common distribution channel for APIs within and outside the enterprise."

"Kong Konnect has positively impacted our organization by securing our APIs, which is one of the main concerns for us, and securing our APIs has benefited our organization by improving compliance and reducing incidents."

"Technical support from Proofpoint was absolutely excellent."

"Their tech support is excellent; when I raise an incident or a support ticket, it gets answered in four hours."

"Kong Konnect has positively impacted my organization by making our development easier and helping us push new routes to our current customers."

Cons

"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."

"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."

"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."

"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."

"Documentation could be improved."

"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."

"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."

"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."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"I wish Kong Konnect could improve by having a built-in notification system whenever any APIs get pinged so that we can receive alerts and send them to the developer."

"When comparing documentation, Kong's documentation is not on par with Google, Amazon, or other cloud providers."

"Kong Konnect's RBAC needs to evolve more, as they currently offer only one or two levels of RBAC in terms of organization and teams."

"Pricing was the issue as it becomes very expensive due to the nature of local circumstances."

"Kong Konnect needs improvement in the UI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."

"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."

"Approximately 20k annually."

"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
