Adverity vs. Boomi vs. ibi Data Migrator

If you're a marketing organization that wants to own your data architecture, get away from hours of manual excel work, and build a flexible and scalable BI practice for yourself and your clients, Adverity is your solution. Especially if you don't have a dedicated analytics team or current database solution. If you have access to a wide variety of API's and a fully staffed team to custom develop new connectors in under 30 days for no incremental cost, you're probably best in-housing

Dell Boomi is well-suited as a middleware to talk between systems. I am a personal fan of Dell's products and I enjoy this service. Dell Boomi is very easy to use, even to the less technically-inclined user. It is less appropriate to use in one system alone, but users would still find it functional in one system alone because it helps manage the system's metadata and allows that system to be integrated with other systems in the future.

• Customizable dashboards, that you could change and make unique to your specific need / business.
• Combining a range of data sets into one view.
• Easily sharable insights, that you can share internally or also with clients.

• Pre-built connectors to almost anything which greatly reduce time to release of your integration needs.
• Easy to use development platform with drag&drop features. Non-technical people could build simple integration processes in no time.
• Great user community where you can get quick help if needed. Boomi people hang around there a lot.

• Adverity is running into some issues being able to custom-develop API connectors at scale/speed. This is mostly because of their rapid growth and incredible core product. If you need custom development, be prepared to use one of the many easy-to-use workarounds Adverity offers for endpoints they don't have a direct integration with. Don't worry - you'll get your data either way.

• More from a development perspective. It is always difficult to use the properties features. It takes a while to understand how the data/variables can be used across an integration.
• Dell Boomi should also invest more on API Management and not just seen as a ETL,ESB tool.
• Should roll out features more often based on users reviews.

Dell Boomi has provided us with the ability to connect our campus together using our various existing platforms. There are many supported features and have yet to run into something that we cannot do. Its user interface is very intuitive which would allow users to begin developing fairly easily. There is a myriad of resources available

Adverity is easy to understand and use, even for users who are less technical. Reports and dashboards are easy to send out, and back-end users can easily navigate workspaces for creating new data fetches.

First of all, as a service (cloud service), we don't need to care about server maintenance any more, no worries about incorrect configurations, about down time. Second, for maintaining, we don't need a large team to do it. And of course, using Dell Boomi instead of manual transaction could help us to avoid people mistake while inputting data or doing transactions.

I would rate Dell Boomi as highly performant. We have used it for 4+ years and have not had any major issues with availability or speed. We also have not observed performance degradation when connecting it with other software solutions.

Boomi support was responsive and knowledgable, however being a closed cloud service, it doesn't have good community support. We found the learning curve to be steep and there aren't avenues like google, forums, or blogs that provide community driven insight into the product or how to go about designing solutions using the tool

Previously I had never really used a tool like this, only using software such as GA to look at any insights and review performance. So I think that the combined view of having all of the data sets (Which in my role I wouldn't always particularly have access to), was really useful. As an individual who was optimising our clients websites it meant that I was really able to prioritise what was important, but also have a great view of absolutely all activity that was happening

MuleSoft and Boomi are built on totally different frameworks. Mulesoft is an API-led network whereas Boomi is an ETL middleware approach. In easy words, Mulesoft can connect to several apps and business units, can create and reuse multiple components. Boomi offers only on-premise and on-cloud integration solutions whereas MuleSoft is capable of providing on-premise, on-cloud as well as hybrid solutions. We can say that MuleSoft is much more flexible and offers multiple integration solutions.

• Scale - the biggest advantage has been the ability to extract, transform, and load data for 150+ clients with a three-person team without a software or data engineering team to support. Adverity would easily allow us to scale up to double or triple the client load if needed.
• Templates - Another advantage related to scale, Adverity allows us to run a templated approach to extraction, transformation, and also data visualization and reporting so that onboarding is very fast. Typical clients with up to 15 data sources can be onboarded in as little as a couple of hours.

• ROI was flat. Coding directly in apps we were knowledgable in would have been faster, but maintenance higher.
• It brought good process to the integration team that was new, however I wouldn't say it was a huge gain monetarily. It is a valid path out of many paths for integration, but doesn't rule them all.
