Cons
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc.""Documentation could be improved.""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.""Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area.""They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view.""It crashes if we run high-volume integration.""There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow.""The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Boomi AtomSphere Integration Cons →

"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity.""They could make it easier to work with web services.""Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices.""I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog.""It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better.""Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome.""Scheduling of jobs in the sequence is not available. It's a very tedious process to do that particular task. If there was a tool to schedule in the sequence that would be extremely helpful.""With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."

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 AtomSphere Integration Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing is good, there is no problem."
  • "The pricing is a little high to make the product more competetive in the marketplace."
  • "Its pricing is as per the enterprise agreement and not a concern for us."
  • "The price is very reasonable."
  • "There is a one time purchase fee plus annual maintenance."
  • "The price of SAP Data Services is a little high when compared to other solutions. Due to the pricing and capabilities, many clients are switching to other solutions."
  • "At the entry level, if you're using it only for data integration, it is a little bit cheap. However, for large organizations it can be expensive. There are additional costs apart from the license."
  • "The license price is expensive but medium to large-scale companies, should be able to afford it. Other solutions, such as Talend are easier to afford for smaller companies. Depending on the sources of the data where you are receiving your data you could be paying for more than one license."
