I worked at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories or Atomic Energy of Canada, a bigger company. We used Boomi iPaaS to populate tables in our data warehouse by creating automated data processes using a graphical interface, rather than writing the SQL scripts manually. Boomi iPaaS made it easier to organize the ETL procedures to populate our data warehouses.

Automated data processes enhance warehouse organization with intuitive UI
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Boomi iPaaS makes it easy to organize ETL procedures that populate data warehouses. The graphical user interface makes development more intuitive for building warehouses. It automates the creation and population of a data warehouse, reducing the need to write SQL scripts and procedures.
What needs improvement?
Boomi iPaaS needs better source control. It is not as good as it could be in terms of managing versions and running what-if scenarios.
For how long have I used the solution?
We had Boomi iPaaS for probably four years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
The setup for Boomi iPaaS was given a rating of seven out of ten, indicating it was easier than difficult. It was set up fairly quickly.
How are customer service and support?
Dell's support for Boomi was rated an eight out of ten. It was pretty good, with ten being the best.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We built our own data solution that we called Dataverse, which was kind of a data warehouse before using Boomi iPaaS.
How was the initial setup?
The setup was rated around seven, meaning it was relatively easy to set up.
What about the implementation team?
We had a Microsoft partner to help with the implementation of Boomi iPaaS. The deployment took about a month as we did not have an existing warehouse to convert.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the overall Boomi iPaaS solution an eight out of ten.
One stop Integration Platform for most of your integration Needs

Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
What is our primary use case?
We are actually using Boomi in Kubernetes clusters. We deploy it in our own clusters for performance, specifically within the retail industry. Due to the high volumes and numerous integrations, we use Boomi to connect to delivery partners for same-day delivery of products.
We have a significant number of integrations for our clients, primarily compact with multi-system sources. For example, an order might come from online or through phone. We then determine which delivery partner will handle it, considering they have their own systems. We also monitor the status to see if it has been picked up or delivered.
What is most valuable?
The maturity of the product is significant. It has been proven in the industry, and we have used it for a long time. When developers learn how to use it, they become productive sooner.
With Boomi, once your product or order is ready, we connect it with Arbitrate. This helps us choose the delivery partner based on location and price and who can deliver within the necessary time frame.
What needs improvement?
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control.
Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for about four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are some stability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It can scale well. The reason we wanted to use our own Kubernetes cluster was to do automatic scaling for utilized resources, allowing us to save. Running it on AtomSphere has limitations, making us want to bypass those.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't worked with support directly, however, I have a good relationship with their teams. Whenever we need something, we receive service that is more than adequate, even exceptional.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We use several platforms. The difference with Boomi is that it is a generic integration platform. Other platforms we work with are more focused on data platform integrations, mostly for reporting or data warehousing.
Boomi allows nearly real-time integration, enabling end-to-end processes in real-time. We use Data Factory for data transformations, offering prebuilt integrations for existing systems.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is straightforward. The only challenge might be acquiring the SSL keys to secure communications. Once you have the certificates up and running, the process involves calling, connecting, and proceeding with your tasks.
What was our ROI?
Some returns on investment are very high, often within three to six months. Others take longer, depending on the integration being implemented. The return is faster since development efforts are minimized, allowing for quicker integration delivery.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing varies and they have changed it over the years. It depends on the company size and the value derived from the platform. While pricing is relative, compared to others, it is favorable.
Clients cover the costs, however, we provide an assessment to justify choosing Boomi. Companies often misunderstand ROI, seeing it as high, yet it equates to one or two full-time staff costs, addressing many needs.
What other advice do I have?
Boomi is particularly beneficial for improving operations and processes. While systems claim to integrate, they often operate independently. Boomi serves as an effective intermediary, facilitating communication between systems like CRM and billing platforms. For those with integration needs, Boomi is recommended.
I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.
Dell Boomi: Ultimate Integration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Dell Boomi lets you integrate seamless between systems. With its inbuilt connectors of various platforms like salesforce, AWS, Oracle and many more you can easily configure and connect bw these system. Boomi UI is very user friendly and anyone with little to no knowledge of integration tool can easily pick up on boomi functionality. The error handling mechanism of Dell Boomi is also good. I like the way you can easily track the errors and debug the process. Implementing the solutions are bit easy but when it comes down to complex solutions Boomi won't be able to satisfy your needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Boomi is not advancing in terms of complex logic solutions. There are couple of things that makes Boomi behind other integration tools such as Oracle Integration Cloud. Also, the customer support is a bit lacky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Boomi has helped me to deliver custom tailored solutions to one of our client from education industry. Also, it helped me professionally as I got my integration basics cleared.
