Boomi

Well Suited:
if you're looking for low-code solutions and you only have partial team at your disposal, then Boomi might be the right choice for you.

Not Suited:
if you have both Web developer team and ABAP team in-house, and you're application logic goes way more custom. it is better to do it on your own with plain old RESTful APIs.

Boomi is well suited for all integration scenarios that doesn't involve requirements for optimal performance and throughput. The platform is performant, however not to the level of handling huge number of requests per second. This is where a microservices-based architecture based on containerization could be more appropriate The runtime is a single JVM process, so all integrations basically runs under the same JVM, hence there's no capability to scale / auto-scale integrations separately.

However, if this is not the case, Boomi does a decent job in integrating different systems and in data synchronization as well. It's easy to use so doesn't require hard code developers. I've seen business analysts and testers developing integrations on Boomi.

Legacy systems often need to be replaced or integrated with new applications in order to modernize businesses. A strong API strategy that avoids custom coding and third-party programs is essential to enable this integration. Boomi's new-age connectivity and integration solutions ensure safe, secure, and robust integration. In the age of information, businesses are under more pressure than ever to be able to collect and manage large amounts of data. This data comes in from a variety of sources, including personalized devices such as voice assistants and wearable tech. While this data can be immensely valuable to businesses, they often lack the infrastructure necessary to handle it effectively. This can lead to data build-up in databases or silos, and can eventually lead to problems with integration and security.

I had observed that Telecom sector is the best scenario where it contains more integrations to send the data.

Well suited:

• ETL items
• Updating CRM —Salesforce from different sources
• Integrations

Not well suited:

• API updates

Dell Boomi is well suited for mid-sized companies and preferably integrated with SAP or any well-known provider but I would recommend for start-up and small businesses as they might find the pricing a bit too exaggerated.

Also if you are using your own CRM, integrating Boomi can be challenging even with the customer support.

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.

An added advantage when starting to learn Dell Boomi [is that] all can easily learn and practise it in the test sandbox. If someone is bored at coding then this will help them to boost their knowledge and time by building it from scratch in different scenarios. I really say thanks to Dell Boomi for making this a free learning platform for all.

Specific scenarios will be for quick integrations. It is very easy to develop an integration from source to target if you know how to develop in Dell Boomi. It is definitely a low code tool you can go for. The UI is very good and I believe it is the best iPaaS at this point in time. It should invest more in API management solutions as well to become the one-stop solution for all integration needs. It has all the capabilities to be the only integration component required for an enterprise.

Dell Boomi is well suited for integrating between ERP systems, especially Netsuite, SAP, Salesforce. Built in access to platform API, Auth to API, access to data or triggers/actions, etc. speeds delivery. There are many connectors available making this process faster. It is best suited to an organization that needs to rapidly roll out new integrations or changes on a regular basis.

It's less well suited when larges amounts of data need to be processed very quickly in a parallel method. It's possible to handle things in parallel, but because of the workflow connectors and design process you are much more likely to build something that is handling one record at a time sequentially instead of building a process that is processing hundreds of records simultaneously for real time processing. It's also less well suited where complex code is the common path for integration as it does not connect to source control and common software development processes for managing code/test/deploy. (Those things can be used, but it requires additional effort to manage.)

From my perspective, Dell Boomi feels like the de-factor gold standard for cloud connectivity. I definitely recommend it -- we've had no notable problems and have leveraged it for 4+ years now.

It's well suited to be an all-around middleware platform. It can handle many different scenarios and run in the cloud or your data center. If you have numerous integration types and custom scenarios, it is a solid solution. Also, its logging allows you to easily research issues and add custom tracked fields in files.

Dell Boomi is a very good iPaaS solution. Still, iPaaS may be a problem (here in Israel) for financial and sensitive organizations.

Boomi is suitable to the integration of data transformation or synchronization:

• When you have to create new data on a system based on data on another system and you have to do that manually repeatedly. Boomi could help.
• When you have to re-enter data on a system with information you just entered on another system, Boomi could help as well.

However, if you need to process your data in the middle of a transition, you need to review or try to implement a custom script. If your rules are too complicated, you may consider choosing another platform or creating a software by yourself.

It is a great ETL tool that handles multiple platforms and gives a wide range of control.

I haven't found a better solution that allows for the customization and ease of use. It does have a learning curve but they have great training available. I have used Zapier and built custom APIs.

Suitable for processes that manipulate files, and file movement. Less suitable for processes with complex transformations, or when you need to debug processes to find programming issues.

Boomi is an integration platform. It will address integration requirements between applications, cloud or on-premise. Also, will allow you to integrate with vendors and customers via EDI or FTP for data transfers.
Examples:
- NetSuite/Oracle eBusiness Suite/SAP with vendors for manufacturing management and financial transactions
- cloud to cloud integration(NetSuite to Namely/OpenAir/Concur, SalesForce to ERP)
- on-premise to cloud: custom legacy apps that almost every company has can be integrated to cloud apps, making the transition to 100% cloud apps easier

Dell Boomi is a great choice if you are integrating real-time processes with multiple other systems. If you have a web service call that requires transforming the data I think Boomi is the best choice. Where I wouldn't recommend using it is for batch processing. It can do the trick if needed but when a batch process goes down it can be extremely hard to figure out where the problem is. The problem is usually in the data but finding that data can be very tricky when you are processing thousands of transactions at a time.

Areas where Boomi is well suited: 1) Salesforce integration 2) Netsuite integration 3) Successfactors integration 4) When the technical team does not know or is not keen on learning a scripting language in deep Areas where Boomi is not well suited: 1) Heavy data load scenarios. Eventhough Boomi have run times which provides supports for heavy data load, there are other tools which handles these scenarios well.

For integrating cloud systems, Boomi is best tool in market.

Cloud Integration, iPAAS Salesforce and SAP integration are perfectly done with Dell Boomi with cloud platform benefits. No hardware/software to install or maintain along with automatic upgrades. Usage-based pricing with one platform for companies of all sizes. Fully functional trial with on-demand access with multi-tenant architecture. Enterprise scalability and elasticity, molecule and atom architecture boosts the performance and availability.

Boomi is suited when an integration between systems is required. Within that domain of data processing, I have not found case where I would choose another integration tool because Boomi could not handle it.

It is very well suited for moving data from one location to the next (especially in the case of moving data between Salesforce and NetSuite). It is drag-and-drop intuitive.

It is less appropriate when you need to run complex sequences of manipulating the data in transit, and also when you need to have thousands of similar items running through the same branch at the same time.
