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.
Costin Marzea - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows you to develop your own components and can be used as an OEM
Sometimes, scalability is part of planning. It depends on what you mean by scalability. People talk a lot about it, but scalability is not always about system functionality. Sometimes, it may be planning the job you're doing. If you want to split it into several jobs or servers, you don't actually have to have it built in as a functionality. You can create a job using a loop, which runs and controls several jobs in a loop that may be controlled. Scaling should not always be part of the infrastructure based on whether the engine can scale or not. I think it's your plan or project that should scale and split, and you can define these parameters. These parameters include how many servers you want to run or how many executions you want to do on different parts of the data. It's not always an issue of the engine running. Sometimes, your database should be configured to support partitioning. The product may scale very well without partitioning, but if the basic response is very slow, you didn't solve the problem. You should solve the problems at a higher level, not just at the execution level. They should be solved at the database level and communication level, and you should have firewalls. We are trying to add to the open source the ability to generate code for containers and Kubernetes that exist in the subscription version. Once you do this, Kubernetes will take care of the scaling, so there is no problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"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."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"The maturity of the product is significant."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"Talend is significantly easier to use."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
 

Cons

"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"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."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"The solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Approximately 20k annually."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"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 Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
