Pros
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration.""The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful.""This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background.""The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use.""It has been a stable product.""Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature.""The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable.""It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."

"The most valuable feature is the security.""There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy.""The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification.""Technical support is good.""We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications.""It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process.""I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools.""When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."

Cons
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors.""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.""The product's UI could be more convenient.""The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities.""The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that.""We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year.""It crashes if we run high-volume integration.""There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."

More Boomi AtomSphere Integration Cons →

"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement.""The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer.""Updates are constantly delayed.""The setup time for App Connect could be improved.""When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated.""The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally.""The product should improve its support.""They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."

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."

  • "It is very expensive if we want to scale."
  • "The price could be better."
  • "The licensing cost for IBM App Connect is very high."
  • "The cost depends upon the consumer."
  • "Initially, App Connect was quite expensive because the cost was based on the number of processors we used. However, it's now based on containers, which means we can be more specific about our consumption and get a better price."
  • "The solution's pricing isn't cheap, but you can get good discounts based on your competitive deal."
