Integration with different systems.

What do you like best about the product?

This product allows us to develop quickly with minimum time from Requirements gathering to Go-Live.

What do you dislike about the product?

I have not found anything I dislike as of yet.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

This product has allowed our company to cut our development time more than half. We can have a demo for a client within 2 weeks. We have also cut our developer costs, since our Systems Analyst can do 90% of the development.

What do you like best about the product?

The Boomi Suggest is such a great feature. It makes creating mapping so much easier. It would take much longer do this in code. The AtomSphere API is a great interface. It is very easy to learn.

What do you dislike about the product?

I love the low latency features, but I really dislike how little you can see into a transaction when it is enabled. I know that is were some of the performance bumps come from, however if we could have a low latency on/off on the atom level it would be extremely useful to gather more information without starting from the build tab which introduces more risk.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a complex project that goes to many different 3rd parties. We would have had a difficult time working with their large API without Boomi. We also use Boomi frequently with our mainframe applications. This really helps eliminate some of the difficulties of integrating a mainframe with other systems.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I really enjoy integrating systems with this tool. We had a learning curve with the run time environment. We also found that the molecule does not work well for real time transactions. We saw better performance from load balancing two Atoms.

What do you like best about the product?

Boomi allows for very rapid development of integrations. It also allows for creating reusable components to make maintenance across integrations easier.

Boomi has very powerful versioning and logging capabilities.

User management is extremely user friendly.

What do you dislike about the product?

The only major dislike is that Boomi does not support folder level permission to different integrations. This creates issues sometimes.

Other minor items:

There is no keyword search for large process logs.

Connections cannot be easily checked/tested when they are being created.

Boomi does not provide a native small database to be used for quick processes. It would be very helpful to have this available even when storage is not the purpose of Boomi, it would be very useful to provide a native database space workplace with limited in size.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integration and data transformation across systems.
Benefits of using Boomi over other products we have tested are clear, Boomi is robust and very user friendly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I have not see any Boomi clients that after using it for a while, are not happy with the product. The only concern potential customers face is cost of for this platform.

What do you like best about the product?

The interface is very intuitive for something that can be as powerful and versatile

What do you dislike about the product?

If I have to say anything I would say it is the missing native support for output to more file formats like XLSX and PDF.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrating with multiple platforms without invoking development teams.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are looking for a robust and powerful cloud integration platform - look no further. Boomi is exceptional at enabling customers to design integration processes and transfer data between applications and platforms.

What do you like best about the product?

The best as per Gartner - https://www.informatica.com/sg/ipaas-magic-quadrant.html
Easy to use for Novice user also.
Simple and lightweight still can fulfill all complex integration needs.
Availability of inbuilt connectors (Not many iPaaS vendors provides connectors for Anaplan, Workday etc.(only SoftwareAG has it as of today.)
Very reasonable pricing and no need to buy unnecessary add-on as bundle
No bugs in product

What do you dislike about the product?

Though there is a workaround for RosettaNet requests, Its good to have connector for it like EDI.

Process logs can be fine tuned. Also, User should have option to store process logs in file as well as database to the user.

User need to have option to view transaction table data for detailed analysis.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cloud to Cloud Integration
Cloud to Ground Integration
Ground to Cloud Integration

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Highly recommended for integration needs of small to middle level data/process integration. You will end up saving a lot.

What do you like best about the product?

I wrote a blog article on it. Please read : http://sfcg.com/first-impressions-using-dell-boomi-atomsphere-like-a-pro/

I am integration developer with over 20+ years using the Data Junction framework (also known as Pervasive Business Integrator or Actian DataConnect). I had some familiarity with Boomi back in 2009 and liked it enough to inquire about open positions, unfortunately during a hiring freeze because they were being courted by Dell for acquisition.

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.

As you can see it easily built out the whole CRM Account schema giving you choices on the Request or Response XML Profiles, from the Account record, as shown in the screenshot below:

Including Child objects….. like List of Address :

This was all done within the span of 10 minutes. 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 half. Li Mo’s impression of using Boomi is ”这个平台太好用了!” which translates to “This tool is so handy!”.

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 no0t wait until I start full blown to continue development on new integration projects using Dell Boomi AtomSphere.

These are some initial impressions of our increased effectiveness with the Boomi platform, as we continue to grow in our knowledge and solution development, you can see here for more tips, tricks and success stories of a partner converted to a new way of developing.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are a few things you have to do repetitively, where a clone tool would be really great. I actually posted an idea : https://community.boomi.com/ideas/2192

There is also a similar request at : https://community.boomi.com/ideas/1314

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

integration of cloud data
rapid repeatablility

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Great tool -- just evaluate it for your needs.

What do you like best about the product?

The number of out of the box third party integration connectors are very helpful and reduce the custom development effort a lot. Continuous enhancements and more additions to these connectors is commendable case in point Amazon S3 and Slack connectors.
The ease with which an API can be setup and deployed is unmatched. Providing various options to configure SSL certificates, use authentication types and support for third party signed client and server certificates gives the client flexibility to mold the solution according to their requirements.
By providing groovy and java scripting options, it gives developers more options to go beyond out of the box mapping functions and transformation rules along with using a mix and match of the two. Introduction of queues and support for queue server makes it compatible with existing predominantly message based architectures.

What do you dislike about the product?

No out of the box connection support for databases like postgresql
Limited API monitoring and statistics
No version control for multiple deployments of same process at a single point of time

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS Databases

Salesforce

SFTP

HTTPS

Custom API's

What do you like best about the product?

Dell Boomi is a wonderful tool to automate your entire eco-system at ease. The User interface is simply awesome and easy to learn. We are able to automate many interfaces. For example - Our HRMS is not capable of sending reminder notifications based on certain events, or based on certain days. With Dell Boomi integration we are able to automate many of our existing processes, which used to be performed manually earlier.
We have got lot of success internally and greater satisfaction from our center of excellence teams.

What do you dislike about the product?

There is nothing as such which can be put as dislikes :) However I personally felt that cost wise Dell Boomi training is little on the expensive side. And the Training content also can be improved. At last the weekly updates should also be considered during weekends and not weekdays.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automation of various processes, Building real time integrations,

Recommendations to others considering the product:

All Successfactors customers must use Dell Boomi for greater experience. The Dell Boomi support is simply awesome.

What do you like best about the product?

There are actually many things that I like about Dell Boomi. One thing that I like the most is the immediate response of the Dell team. We can provide our suggestions which we feel is necessary and they will review it and immediately start working on it.

As it is cloud based, we can access it from anywhere and the UI of this software is very user friendly and we can implement our logic without any confusion or hindrances.

What do you dislike about the product?

1. We had a scenario where large volumes of data had to be migrated. Finally we ran to issues and couldn't do that successful with Boomi. The reason is that the memory allotted for an atom is required to execute large volume. The alternate way which Boomi suggesting is to use many different process. So that reason you have to manual split your process to many to handle the large volume.
2. Another reason is that it is not providing the basic need for roll back the transaction. There is no option to execute with a transaction . For eg: we had scenarios where it had to communicate between two systems. When it fails for one system it had to revert back for the entire case. Currently it is not possible with Boomi.
3. Since Boomi made the tool more custamizable it become not that much user friendly. If you want to quickly visit an error for a process, you have to go for many clicks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

What business problems are you solving? What benefits have you realized?
I was able to automate several processes which involves integration with Salesforce, Salesforce Analytics, NetSuite, and many more third party vendors which otherwise would have caused a lot of manual effort and would have been more error prone.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I recommend every Organization and Business Units who has lot of trouble with application Integration weather it may be On-premise or Cloud and the cost of application i strongly recommend them to use Dell Boomi.
