We performed a comparison between Boomi iPaaS and StreamSets based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The ETL capabilities are very useful for us. We extract and transform data from multiple data sources, into a single, consistent data store, and then we put it in our systems. We typically use it to connect our Apache Kafka with data lakes. That process is smooth and saves us a lot of time in our production systems."
"The most valuable features are the option of integration with a variety of protocols, languages, and origins."
"What I love the most is that StreamSets is very light. It's a containerized application. It's easy to use with Docker. If you are a large organization, it's very easy to use Kubernetes."
"The entire user interface is very simple and the simplicity of creating pipelines is something that I like very much about it. The design experience is very smooth."
"I really appreciate the numerous ready connectors available on both the source and target sides, the support for various media file formats, and the ease of configuring and managing pipelines centrally."
"The best feature that I really like is the integration."
"In StreamSets, everything is in one place."
"It is a very powerful, modern data analytics solution, in which you can integrate a large volume of data from different sources. It integrates all of the data and you can design, create, and monitor pipelines according to your requirements. It is an all-in-one day data ops solution."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"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."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"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."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"StreamSet works great for batch processing but we are looking for something that is more real-time. We need latency in numbers below milliseconds."
"If you use JDBC Lookup, for example, it generally takes a long time to process data."
"Sometimes, it is not clear at first how to set up nodes. A site with an explanation of how each node works would be very helpful."
"The logging mechanism could be improved. If I am working on a pipeline, then create a job out of it and it is running, it will generate constant logs. So, the logging mechanism could be simplified. Now, it is a bit difficult to understand and filter the logs. It takes some time."
"One area for improvement could be the cloud storage server speed, as we have faced some latency issues here and there."
"They need to improve their customer care services. Sometimes it has taken more than 48 hours to resolve an issue. That should be reduced. They are aware of small or generic issues, but not the more technical or deep issues. For those, they require some time, generally 48 to 72 hours to respond. That should be improved."
"The software is very good overall. Areas for improvement are the error logging and the version history. I would like to see better, more detailed error logging information."
"The documentation is inadequate and has room for improvement because the technical support does not regularly update their documentation or the knowledge base."
