The best among Cloud Integration iPaaS providers, #1 Integration Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Below are some of the highlights I can put forward:
# Lucid documentation of the product.
# Manual configuration of runtime engine is really awesome, for this one reason I could say BOOMI is an best product among iPaaS providers.
# Well to get into more technical aspects one having basic knowledge on different systems can get adopted to this BOOMI very quickly because you have best documentation to move on.
# Even one who is beginner to programming concepts of OOPS can get things done in a quite easy manner.
# Best part here I can put forward is that this product moved out of box now! by adding a "custom connector" concept where in a developer can try to connect to different systems by coding himself apart from inbuilt provided connectors.
# Community is another noticeable part where in you can get enormous knowledge of the product from "Knowledge Center", "Forums" .
# I couldn't stop myself in endorsing product team as they provide additional section "Ideas" where in you can post an idea of your choice which you want this product to implement and based on number of votes given and Boomi Experts reviews, your idea can be taken into account and accepted to backlog and you can see that gets published in the future releases. (I created some ideas where in they added it to the product as an enhancement)
#This is my only choice to implement integration scenarios in a minimum time and monitor in an easy manner.

What do you dislike about the product?
# From a customer perspective I could say the build is done in hours and zero maintenance too but @ higher pricing.
# Based on fast moving IT world Boomi should also adapt in implementing new authentications techniques and standard connectors.
# Most of the things are almost covered but some enhancements in Groovy, JavaScript editors will definitely make it unique.
# For now this supports Groovy and JS as built in scripting languages, additionally I prefer to add some more built in scripting languages.
# Importing JAVA Classes into boomi is a bit tricky for now, but this is taken to backlog for easy user interface implementation and will be provided in future release.
Above are some points in my perspective, but with present capabilities also we can somehow achieve our requirement goals to get them done.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have integrated ETL interfaces, Developed API's, Exposed Web Services in my projects on Boomi.
I was successful in implementing B2G and B2B integration with ease and less security prone activities.
Salesforce, NetSuite, SAP, SuccessFactors, SugarCRM, Workday, oDATA, Microsoft Dynamics etc are some of systems to which I had developed successful integration.
I have also Implemented integration for banking sector too.
Security aspects are mainly implemented in this product, hence was able to work on different integration scenarios irrespective of Domain systems.

Boom Boom Boomi the iPaaS Leader
What do you like best about the product?
I had been working with MS BizTalk server for almost 7 years. When I had an opportunity to work for Boomi cloud platform, I took it up with mixed thoughts. Now I say that Boomi is indeed very developer friendly. No installation and versioning head aches, No writing debugging codes, simple way of deployment. It took my perception of iPaaS to different level.
What do you dislike about the product?
I always felt that it needs to allow developers to write custom components based on the business need. For every integration I have almost all connectors. It actually pampers developers. I see things are becoming easier on every release. And Synchronous processes needs to be handled much better way. Any window that pops up for any config changes, do not have the option to move the window. It is stable always due to which I had to close every time if I had to see what is at the back of the window.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been integrating cloud systems between NetSuite, GMAX, Coupa, Bridger and Interfactura. I mainly involved in validating the incoming data and applying business logics and send across to different systems. Boomi perfectly fits into my integration need. It does good.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly recommend Dell Boomi if your requirement is to integrate many cloud platforms. It is user friendly, easy to use, Simple to deploy and install. No major hiccups and your development time could be reduced by 50% depends on the complexity of the functionalities compared to other competitors

What do you dislike about the product?
# Several features populate very slow. For instance, the left menu, drop-downs. It could be saved on sessions and can be provided at an instant. If any change is required, option for refresh could be given as separate rather than compulsory update.
# Choice to download deployed process lists. Time filters on deployed processes.
# Garbage collection doesn't seems profound

Quick and powerful 1-stop shop for integration
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive environment, the web interface can be used immediately from anyone familiar with the basic of application integration. The learning curve is really fast. A single web-based environments supports all the phases from design, to deployment and management.
If you need to do scripting you can use industry standard languages like Javascript and Groovy.
The need of custom scripting is limited.
The central control from the web console of all the managed processes is a giant leap in terms of DevOps respect to more traditional products.

What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing and sizing require usually strong analysis with the customer during the presales phase. Some customers are not willing to engage into this and might lead to difficulties in attaining a competitive sizing for the projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is an integration product, the key objectives usually are:
- perform scheduled ETL processes
- expose and consume WebServices within a SOA architecture (ESB type)
- fast implementation: this is usually the only key benefit most customers care for

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before evaluating an iPaaS product consider if you can accept a command and control architecture which is being governed from the US laws. Most state-owned companies from EU will not like that.
Don't be afraid of the pricing: a careful architecture design and discussion with the vendor/partner will ensure you get real value for money.

There are many good things about Dell Boomi that I have come to like and use in everyday work, the overall capabilities together with continuous improvements from the R&D team creates a product that you feel is not satisfying itself with its current status but always trying to adhere to customer needs and suggestion. To mention a few of the parts I like the most I would point out the following:
Environment management between Test and Production, or whatever other steps in between, is made very easy through Boomi and this makes the overall development and maintenance a pure delight once you have this setup to cover your needs.
The Scripting functionalities, both inside a process and inside a Map function, give you a very extensive set of new ways to solve a complex business case for a Customer. Covering both JavaScript and Groovy this is a very powerful addition which makes the development easy even in tough use cases.
API management and the overall capabilities for creating and maintaining Web Services, it is very easy to setup and utilize as part of your integration.
Last but not least, Boomi is doing more and more updates to increase the usability and the user experience which I find very interesting and good. There is almost always some improvements regarding UI etc. in new releases and they manage to do this without making it difficult for us, the users, to keep up and adapting to the new look and feel.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are small areas where I really hope that they make some improvements:
When it comes to custom scripting utilizing JavaScript or Groovy it would be very good to have syntax highlighting or similar regular features to simplify the development and minimize the risk of syntax issues.
The very good SOAP Connector, which is used for all connections using the SOAP framework, does not support NTLM/Kerberos authentication, which leaves you with the only option (if your use case cannot use oData) to develop a branded connector.
Overall the documentation is ok, and their new Community is very good, but I would like some more concrete examples in their regular documentation. Very often I read documentation about a Connector or some other shape and the bare minimal is available; sometimes a checkbox is explained by re-typing its label, which is quite annoying if you are looking for a deeper explanation of the impact of actually checking this checkbox.

Integration to multiple systems including Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics Navision and third party vendors.
Developing and maintaining API and web services is a key aspect that is necessary for our implementation, this together with integration towards Salesforce for not only custom built web services but also standard operations such as Querying, Insert/Upsert/Update/Merge/Delete is vital for the success to be achieved.
Ability to streamline the integration and having a cloud based solution

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read up on licensing and how you best maintain and handle your connections in regard to the contract that you sign with Boomi. This is not a cheap product but well worth it if implemented and maintained in the correct and suggested way.
Take time to analyze and plan your integration before starting the development, know what you should do and have a clear idea of how you will do it before is very good to not get lost with the many ways that a process can be developed to meet a certain business case. From my experience with Boomi it is not so much the question “Can this be done?” that is the important one, but rather “How can we best do this?”.

A powerful platform and tool for any integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Boomi is working hard to improve aspects of the UI. This is a highly important task in my opinion, since the platform and development tool is cloud and browser based. Boomi is demonstrating that this is a high priority for them, and I am enjoying the UI improvements so far.
I also like that a process can be extended with custom scripting if the built-in functionality is unable to suffice.
My favorite part about Boomi is the ability to create RESTful web services. It is intuitive to develop them, and they are very effective.

What do you dislike about the product?
To keep on point with the UI improvements, there are certainly a lot of mouse clicks involved when it comes to browsing for components and configuring shapes. However, some of this has already been addressed so it is obvious that there is a backlog for improvements with the Boomi Dev team.
I also don't like the fact that a Map can't be unit tested by itself. If there was a way to unit test a map on its own (by configuring the inputs or uploading a csv that contains inputs, for example. And a way to check the expected output of each.) I believe development would be 10x more effective and more defects would be caught before production.
I do not like that a new profile is generated every time a Salesforce operation is created. I would like the option to browse for a profile before one may be created.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work on a team that integrates with Workday, Salesforce, Jive and Coupa quite a bit. Most of the Workday integrations consist of generating a flat file of some sort ( which Boomi is extremely effective with). Otherwise, integrations with Jive and Salesforce utilize their robust and effective web services.
The benefits of course with the Salesforce connector are the ability to use their web services without really coding at all. The query operations are easy to use (most of the time) and the update/create, etc. operations are even easier.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although I would always recommend exploring your options, keep in mind that Boomi and the Atomsphere development tool is entirely in the cloud. That is tough to beat in my opinion.
