Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"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."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"Customer support is very efficient."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"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."
"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."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
