Pros
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems.""Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems.""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.""It has been a stable product.""I have found the solution to be scalable.""It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user.""Low-code development is the most valuable feature."

"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature.""From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface.""The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems.""The product’s flexibility is valuable.""This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours.""The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine.""It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools.""Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."

Cons
"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process.""Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors.""The product's UI could be more convenient.""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.""They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage.""It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better.""There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking.""We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."

More Boomi iPaaS Cons →

"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,""The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved.""The solution needs better integration with other tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
  • "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 licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
  • "This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
  • "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"
  • "The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "Approximately 20k annually."
  • More Boomi iPaaS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "An annual package license fee is required."
  • "The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."
  • "It's expensive. In fact, nobody would buy any product of Informatica if the price was the only consideration. It costs money, and it doesn't come cheap, but it provides value for money in many ways."
  • "There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
  • "Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
  • "The product is not very expensive."
