One of the Best iPaaS platform

Beoordeeld op 20-7-2020

I have worked on multiple integration tools - SAP PI, Websphere MQ, Informatica Cloud, Mulesoft, SAP CPI and I have felt that Boomi was the easiest and most intuitive to work with. I was able to implement complex orchestration scenarios very quickly compared to tools like SAP PI.

Pluspunten

Very easy to learn for a relatively experienced integration developer.
Best in the industry User Interface for an iPaaS.
Great set of features that covers most of the Integration patterns.
Good API Management features.
Good licensing model.

Minpunten

No possibility to export and save a process.

Very Useful

Beoordeeld op 6-11-2018

I started my career with Boomi technology and I am very glad to be apart of this wonderful technology so far. I love to part of Boomi ever.

Pluspunten

I love Boomi's Gentle learning curve;their most user friendly UI;most interactive community;very useful user guide and process library and LMS. I like the new features and functionalities they incorporate in every releases. Boomi is the best Integration and Cloud tool I have ever used.

Minpunten

Some things which needs their improvement like providing flexibility in running the same execution simultaneously with multiple extension values etc. But Very few cons. Their API Management should be improved.

Beoordeeld op 6-11-2017

Pluspunten

I really like signing out of Boomi, going home and drinking a few pints of drain cleaner; just takes the edge off.

Minpunten

It's like buying a very expensive sports car, opening the hood and finding a clapped-out Trabant engine.

Boomi Developer Ease

Beoordeeld op 7-11-2018

Pluspunten

Ease of developing an integration. The product is self document there are a lot of options for connectors pre-built. There is a vast support network of resources help and training available to aid in understanding the development life cycle.

Minpunten

The product requires a lot of resources when running. Some development processes and methods are not as straight forward and take experience and trial and error to work around what should logically work 1 way but need to be handled in a less straight forward manner.

Boomi Ease of Use

Beoordeeld op 2-10-2019

We've been modernizing legacy business applications and integrations, moving from installed software to using Boomi's iPaaS.

Pluspunten

Boomi is very easy to set up and get started. It's easy to teach new employees and have them up and creating value for the company quickly. It's an intuitive product and makes creating integrations easy.

Minpunten

It seems like we're always running out of connectors. It takes careful management to not run out in our Non-Production environments. There's also no easy way to view queue management.

Speed of developement

Beoordeeld op 6-11-2018

We started out small with one atom and a single integration. This integration went so well we moved to adopt Boomi as our corporate wide iPaas.

Pluspunten

Speed to deployment. We had a proof of concept up and running in one day.
The development and deployment cycle fits perfectly with Agile

Minpunten

I'd like to see some more functionality in one or two of the connectors.

Ease of Use

Beoordeeld op 6-11-2018

Overall positive.

Pluspunten

Simple to use, quick to develop. I was able to develop a workable process in one day!

Minpunten

Auto-names objects which can lead to confusion over which is the correct version.
Gives 4 levels of errors when setting up email notifications - but there still can be an error during a process execution which would NOT trigger the email, so the only way to discover this error is the go to the Execution console.

Dell Boomi as Integration software

Beoordeeld op 12-12-2019

Overall, for the price, you get good ROI on your investments and it is a highly successful integration product. So I would recommend this.

Pluspunten

Boomi provides lot of out of the box connectors, comparable to its more popular competitor Mule. However, it is much cheaper and highly performant than Mule.

Minpunten

The only thing, I wish Boomi has worked more on is the cloud deployment and central maintenance of hybrid deployments.

Very Reliable

Beoordeeld op 27-11-2018

We have been using this product for years back when they were quest and will continue to use it. It's a solid investment.

Pluspunten

Very versatile integrations with plenty of room for customization. We were able to automate many workloads that have been running for a couple years now.

Minpunten

Not quite turnkey. Take a lot studying and reference guides to stand up a working solution.

Boomi is fantastic

Beoordeeld op 14-12-2016

We have been using Boomi and doing great. I like the way we can break down data into small units of work. It simplifies how to handle multi-conditional pathing and the unit of work level.

Currently, I am working at SFCG, using various tools to build integrations into Oracle CX products. When we started kicking the tires on Boomi and in the training and development since that time, I've tried a series of processes out that have given me trouble in other tools. Below is a brief recap of my experience and growing admiration for the way in which this tool has made my job easier.

My first goal with using Boomi was to connect to an instance of CRM On-Demand (a task that can on other platforms be a time-consuming endeavor). What I found was a useful wizard, pictured below, with a series of pop-up steps to follow.
In other tools, I have spent more time in trying to define the schemas, than actually completing the maps that use them. Boomi reduced that time from my process. This is one small example of many demonstrating how my teammates and I feel as if we were working in black and white and are now working in color with Boomi AtomSphere. Tasks I've taken for granted are complex, time-consuming and meticulous are simplified, streamlined and transformed with powerful features like Boomi Suggest - a handy feature that leverages the collective intelligence of the Boomi community to suggest which fields should be mapped in a Data Map.

You don't need to take my word for it, another member of our team, Li Mo started building out an integration to Oracle Sales Cloud, using the SOAP API Connector. He was able to do a complete integration to insert a record into the Account entity, and it took about an hour and a half.

Note: it had been about 1 month since we both actually took the training courses. I believe we choose an additional tool that plays to the inner strengths of working in the cloud, and I can not wait until I start full blown to continue development on new integration projects using Dell Boomi AtomSphere.

ETL Made Easy

Beoordeeld op 16-12-2016

I started working in Boomi with no prior IT experience. I walked into an already complex business model and some pretty complicated processes. I was able to quickly catch on and make myself an important piece to the 'Integration' team.
My company has premier support and this team was very helpful at times when trying to build something difficult.
Even as someone who is not familiar with coding (javascript/groovy) the ready-made components make it easy to use. Although sometimes, you will need to use scripting and there's no getting around it. But all that is pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

The ability to extend processes to different environments is also great, allowing you to test a process in multiple worlds. There are lots of 'out of the box' connectors that make the transition a breeze.
Lately, Boomi has been really picking up the slack on their releases. They rolled out a new community and Ideas page. The reference page has been given a facelift as well.

If only they made certification cheaper, I would think of getting one.

Pluspunten

Drag and drop canvas, easy to use.

Minpunten

My Dell Boomi View

Beoordeeld op 6-12-2016

Overall experience is good but I still see a lots of improvement points for the development environment. Also memory and multi threading options appears a bit tricky with Dell Boomi. Checkpointing of the processing would add lots of value to the product in terms of recovering the the half way processed transactions.

Pluspunten

Common development environment along with version control and revision history.
Development environment on cloud can enable a developer to become productive from day one.
Single place deployment and complete code life cycle management.
Common Dashboard to monitor the integer landscape components.
Automated housekeeping of logs and temporary files.

Minpunten

Memory management is a bit tricky, no option to allocate memory to specific integration processes.
Multi threading not very efficient and controllable.
Configuration Parameter management through process extentions is a bit complex and confusing.
Dependency on internet for development activity. In case of any network issue developer cannot continue with the development.

The Best:
1.- Easy of use, make my developing job easy, focus on the need of my client.
2.- GUI comfortable, better month by month with the updates.
3.- Lots of connectors, lots of icon options to solve the need.
The bad:
1.- Tracking log of process execution of many days before (10 days) is impossible.
2.- Debugging is a pain, cause does not have functionality about the debugging groovy.

Thanks to all the team!!!!!

Easy to use product for fast development

Beoordeeld op 6-12-2016

Boomi is a fantastic tool to use for integration between systems. Reusable components speeds up development and implementation, changes are easy to propagate through all relevant processes and the UI is very intuitive and easy to learn. Features are limited by willingness to upgrade the account but a lot can still be accomplished with just the standard set of features available. A great adaptable platform that can handle all sorts of mess with an active community forum that provides support and help as much as possible and regular updates with features suggested by the community itself is leading this product to even better times ahead.

Pluspunten

Easy to use, intuitive. Simple to set up schedules, deployments, tests. Changes are easy to make, test and rollback. Copying map functions that were recently added!

Minpunten

Limitations imposed by account features and cloud atom. Search can be slow, drop-down loading can also be slow for document properties for example. Adding identifier instance also collapses entire json tree which takes many clicks to reopen. Logs aren't the greatest, not always as detailed as it could be and are temporary.

Used Boomi to connect our Newer versions of software to older Cloud legacy systems.

Beoordeeld op 30-6-2018

Pluspunten

Was able to use the API connections with Boomi to integrate requests from acquired newer customer facing software to our existing legacy cloud systems to be able to handle the offerings without creating a new backend. This worked. It didn't always work great and it took some setting up, but once it was working it generally stayed working.

Minpunten

Huge learning curve. You will need to leverage Dell's partner offerings and train up Boomi experts within your organization through Dell Boomi classes. Reading through and interrupting the Logs is speciality all its own aside from the knowledge needed to setup the interfaces in the first place. If it breaks, you will likely need help in fixing it.

Great Product, with a bit of a learning curve

Beoordeeld op 6-12-2016

Hello,

I've been working with Boomi for about 3 years now. When I started working with it, I thought "this is going to be an uphill battle". And it was, though it was not necessarily the tool itself. The integration endpoints all have their particulars and peculiarities that can be time consuming. Business processes can also make for some head scratching.

However, the robustness of Boomi can usually make fairly straightforward work of most integrations, and I have come to love the "creative" solutions that are sometimes needed. Still, compared to building integrations from scratch, Boomi amazes me at how fast we can go from dev to deployment.

I wouldn't mind seeing more fleshed out descriptions of functions in the documentation, but the community is a great source of information when the documentation feels ambiguous. And it's an active community, not a dusty old forum forgotten by time, so that's a real plus.

Pluspunten

Development of complex integrations takes days, not months.

Minpunten

Some of the more advanced features should probably have better or maybe just more examples in the documentation.

The best solution to deploy changes automatically.

Beoordeeld op 29-4-2018

Various type of Integration activities like Monitoring and deployments.

Pluspunten

Dell Bhoomi provides automatic support to deploy all the latest changes on a branch. It automatically checks for the latest changes checked in and then deploy automatically. It also provides automatic testing of various code modules. Monitoring and Event tracking also are the useful features.

Minpunten

Dell Bhoomi is costly to use as various packages have different features. Advance features fall into the costly one.

Boomi is a powerful automation tool which allows non technical individuals to do complicated...

Beoordeeld op 22-9-2017

- Being able to design,develop, implement and execute processes in a short timespan
- Rolling back production processes with bugs is quick and efficient
- Version control
- Complex architecture can be done in a simple manner (maps, business rules, decision shapes etc.)

Pluspunten

Pros of Boomi -
- Easy to use interface
- Fast and reliable support guide and helpdesk operatives
- Powerful tool for non technical background individuals
- Deployment of dev process and roll back is very efficient and easy to do

Minpunten

Cons of Boomi

Key to integrate our customers, but sometimes challenging doing things correctly

Beoordeeld op 7-11-2018

Overall, the experience has been positive for us as a Partner and our customers. The biggest area of improvement is within monitoring as we expect the product to have those capabilities baked in and not us having to develop our own monitoring.

Pluspunten

Dell is great for connecting disparate systems and helping us streamline our go-lives.

Minpunten

The biggest complaint with Boomi is the lack of built in monitoring and the level of knowledge within Support when calling in. Most of the time when relying on Support I have combed through the kbases, documentation and community forums. It can be frustrating getting kbases I already tried back from support.

Dell Boomi solved a specific problem for us, and solved it well

Beoordeeld op 14-12-2016

We use Dell Boomi as an integration tier between a cloud-based POS and half a dozen on-premise systems. We evaluated a few systems before deciding on Boomi, and we couldn't be happier about our choice. The product is consistent, intuitive, and has provided everything we need. The interface provides all the features that users "just want", that may not be functionally critical but that makes the product so much easier to use. For example, being able to globally rename objects and move/rename folders, and have the effect instantly propagate throughout the system -- without breaking anything! and with very little effort -- is extremely beneficial. Building processes with the shapes provided are intuitive and quick. And making it all accessible via an externally-facing REST API makes it versatile to any external system with which we want to interface.

On the project that we're using Boomi with, Boomi has been the best part of the project! While other components have proven unreliable and time-consuming to build, Boomi has proven fast to implement and very versatile.

Pluspunten

Versatile, intuitive, and allows for fast build-out of processes.

Minpunten

Finding information while troubleshooting can be a challenge. Not be able to "step through" a process in real time presents some challenges as well, though minor.

Dell Boomi

Beoordeeld op 22-9-2016

We have been using Boomi for many years. Boomi is currently utilized for many integration processes in our Org. We love the ease of use and ease of building processes and maintaining them.
Some features that we would like to see are :
1. Ability to maintain process versions and ability to revert back to an older version
2. Ease of troubleshooting an issue with a process
3. Ability to segregate processes for sandbox/testing vs production.
