Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Boomi as a "middle man" to pipe data between disparate systems in our organization. It replaced a more expensive and time-intensive application we had in terms of administration effort, so its been very useful to us.

Pros

  • Allows disparate systems to speak to each other
  • Its fairly easy to setup
  • It's been very reliable thus far

Cons

  • Managing SSL certificates seems fairly non-intuitive
  • The organization of configuration within the cloud application is cumbersome and somewhat confusing unless you know the app very well
  • They seem to move things around a lot on web app, so that adds to the confusion

Return on Investment

  • This application helps keep costs down to automated what would otherwise be repetitive manual tasks... or solutions we'd have to build in-house, which would also be time and cost prohibitive
  • I have no real negatives to mention in this respect
