Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems.""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.""This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background.""I have found the solution to be scalable.""The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me.""I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration.""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."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use.""Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly.""It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."

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.""There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking.""They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage.""Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc.""We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience.""The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities.""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.""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."

More Boomi iPaaS Cons →

"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."

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."

  • "On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
  • "Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
  • "Workato is an expensive solution."
