Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The stability of the solution is good.""Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a good product for integrating with Boomi as a backend service.""The product's stability is good.""We can develop almost any interface that we need.""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.""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."

"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation.""We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair.""It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing. We can easily retrieve data. It is good in terms of troubleshooting and other things."

Cons
"The API management has room for improvement.""The product is really complex to manage.""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.""Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution.""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.""From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper.""Boomi AtomSphere API Management can be improved in terms of threshold management and policy management."

More Boomi AtomSphere API Management Cons →

"The on-premises setup can be difficult.""Some of the things that we use cannot be done in this solution. For these things, we have to either use a Java service or a util service. There is no predefined or existing service that we can use. So, we have to work on the util service and write on top of it. Its price can also be better. It is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission.""The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"
