We performed a comparison between Boomi AtomSphere Integration and Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"It is easy to learn and implement."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."
"The amount of data that it loads and processes is good."
"The fact that it enables us to leverage metadata to automate data pipeline templates and reuse them is definitely one of the features that we like the best. The metadata injection is helpful because it reduces the need to create and maintain additional ETLs. If we didn't have that feature, we would have lots of duplicated ETLs that we would have to create and maintain. The data pipeline templates have definitely been helpful when looking at productivity and costs."
"It's very simple compared to other products out there."
"It has improved our data integration capabilities."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to create many API integrations. I'm always working with advertising agents and using Facebook and Instagram to do campaigns. We use Pentaho to get the results from these campaigns and to create dashboards to analyze the results."
"The way it has improved our product is by giving our users the ability to do ad hoc reports, which is very important to our users. We can do predictive analysis on trends coming in for contracts, which is what our product does. The product helps users decide which way to go based on the predictive analysis done by Pentaho. Pentaho is not doing predictions, but reporting on the predictions that our product is doing. This is a big part of our product."
"The fact that it's a low-code solution is valuable. It's good for more junior people who may not be as experienced with programming."
"It's my understanding that the product can scale."
"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."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"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."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement when it comes to integrating structured data with text data or anything that is unstructured. Sometimes we get all kinds of different files that we need to integrate into the warehouse."
"Although it is a low-code solution with a graphical interface, often the error messages that you get are of the type that a developer would be happy with. You get a big stack of red text and Java errors displayed on the screen, and less technical people can get intimidated by that. It can be a bit intimidating to get a wall of red error messages displayed. Other graphical tools that are focused at the power user level provide a much more user-friendly experience in dealing with your exceptions and guiding the user into where they've made the mistake."
"I would like to see more improvements with AS400 DB2."
"The product needs more plugins."
"The performance could be improved. If they could have analytics perform well on large volumes, that would be a big deal for our products."
"I could not connect to our Hadoop environment in an easy and flexible way, and it was important to scale our data warehouse."
"I work with the Community Edition, therefore I do not have support. There was an issue that I could not resolve with community support."
"Parallel execution could be better in Pentaho. It's very simple but I don't think it works well."
