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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"It has been a stable product."
"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
 

Cons

"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"Boomi iPaaS needs better source control. It is not as good as it could be in terms of managing versions and running what-if scenarios."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"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."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"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."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"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."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"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 solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
