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

Pros

"It is easy to learn and implement."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"The stability is excellent."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"There are stability issues."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"Documentation could be improved."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"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"
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
