Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature.""The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool.""I like the tool's optimization feature.""The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful.""The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable.""Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature.""I have found the solution to be scalable.""The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."

"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools.""The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far.""Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features.""The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems.""The scalability is excellent.""Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking.""Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation.""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."

Cons
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly.""Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc.""There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking.""There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow.""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.""We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year.""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.""Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."

More Boomi AtomSphere Integration Cons →

"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""Pushdown optimization could be improved.""The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks.""The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk.""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.""I would like the stability to improve."

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 →

  • "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."
