Boosts integration efficiency and enhances data workflows for SAP and CRM systems
What is our primary use case?
I have been using Boomi iPaaS, primarily for integration processes involving SAP systems and CRM systems on the cloud, particularly in the pharma industry. I needed to create a connector that could connect these systems, consolidate data into one workflow, and provide an end-user content interface.
How has it helped my organization?
Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems. It has also enhanced workflow efficiency by handling errors in data mismatches and has facilitated faster onboarding of new partners in our business network.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration. Additionally, API management has been beneficial for data integration, specifically in terms of data aggregation and creating experience APIs.
What needs improvement?
The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been dealing with Boomi iPaaS for about four years.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support from Boomi is good, seamlessly meeting SLAs and providing excellent responses to challenges and issues related to interface and data connectivity.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before using Boomi, the onboarding of partners was time-consuming and required substantial custom development. Boomi's low code and out-of-the-box connectors have significantly reduced the time and effort required for these tasks.
What other advice do I have?
Boomi is recommended for complex integration in hybrid cloud environments with multiple enterprise systems. It is particularly effective when there is a combination of SAP and CRM systems.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
A good low code platform with good admin functionality
What do you like best about the product?
Simple Interface - The platform is simple to manage users and environments along with features such as Single Sign on, MDH models etc.
If you want to host it on cloud VM's, locally, you can do that, and there is also MCS (managed cloud solution) option if you don't want to manage the underlying infrastructure so there are options accroding to your prreference & budget.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI switching issues - The platform, when switching to a different menus (eg. from Integration to User management etc.) sometimes takes lot longer than expected. It would be better if this transition / change of menus becomse quick and responsive.
No provisioning support - As of now Boomi only offers just the SSO functionality, but they lack the Provisioning support, by which (in case of Azure) a Entra ID group and it's users can be mapped as Boomi roles and users inside those roles on Boomi platform
Manually setting this up on Boomi side is a task, if you have already done this setup on Azure side ( User groups per environment and it's users)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company we use Boomi MDM, which is all about the data in centralised contstrcuted format which makes it easily accesible and easy to handle, this resulted in seamless integration with other Boomi processes with data accuracy.
We have also used API management service (Hosted on a virtual machine) to streamline the authentication process and make the security aspect stronger.

Enterprize Integration with Boomi
What do you like best about the product?
It is user friendly also, drag/drop features for creation and deployment made it simple for integrations. Also, the cloud-native architecture provides possibilities for scalability without much physical infrastructure cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there is still scope of betterment when it comes to custom connectors. There are not much rights provided to customize the pre-built connectors. Also, the pricing model is bit difficult to deal with here, it can be made more transparent and, flexible which can create major impact.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it majorly to connect let's say XYZ company's enterprize system with salesforce, Oracle, etc without much code by using simple drag/drop feature. It also gives enough features to publish, manage and monitor the APIs.
