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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"The maturity of the product is significant."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"It has been a stable product."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"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."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
 

Cons

"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"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."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"The security features could be improved."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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"
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
