Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stability of the solution is good."
"The product's stability is good."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"It is easy to use, easy to install, and it's resilient for high availability."
"The solution is very easy to work with."
"The performance is good. It's been very stable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Its initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the security appliance, it's very secure."
"It's high-speed and it can be remotely administered via an API."
"The solution is robust."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"The initial setup isn't so easy, you need who has experience working with the solution to help."
"The programming language is only supported in XSLT and Gateway script."
"The components that they include in the product that are, in fact, a WTX, really need to be removed from the product because they tend to fail."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"The product should be more adapted to the DevOps process."
"Traceability could be improved, especially for business operations. The traceability of the transactions could be an improvement point for DataPower to work on. It would be better if they provided JSON support. JSON protocol data has changed format. It started performing internal transformation to JSONx. This might be an additional complexity."
"The two biggest issues of this solution are the complexity and the maintenance procedures."
