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.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

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 product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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 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 has significantly impacted our ROI. We have automated complete order-to-cash processes for multiple customers, saving over 90 million dollars."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
 

Cons

"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"There are stability issues."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"Documentation could be improved."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"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."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
