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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs
The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"Boomi iPaaS makes it easy to organize ETL procedures that populate data warehouses."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
 

Cons

"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"There are stability issues."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"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."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"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 pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
