Quick thoughts on Boomi

Rating: 9 out of 10

December 17, 2024

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

Likelihood to Recommend

I can only speak to the applications where it is best suited, as my overall experience with the application is not at an expert level. But it seems to be very well suited to move data between systems. Its rare that we have an issue with it

Boomi in the Integration Space

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

June 2, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Boomi is used as a cloud-based Enterprise Integration platform at the organizations I have worked for. We used Boomi to integrate with various systems in different industries, such as supply chain, finance, and auctioning domains. Boomi is basically an iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) that allows for no-code / low-code integrations between systems in an easy and intuitive manner, taking out most of the complexities inherit in integrating data and softwares

Pros

Application Integration
Data Synchronization
APIs
Drag and Drop Intuitive Workflow Designer
Connecting to various Enterprise Platforms such as NetSuite, SAP, MS Dynamics, Shopify

Cons

Elastic Scaling
Microservices-based Architecture
Monitoring & observability
High throughput scenarios

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

have Business Critical Integration workload? GO BOOMI 🚀

Rating: 9 out of 10

May 30, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Usecase:
We have several SAP clients who needs custom solution as an extension of SAP, it is mostly in form of Web Application or Mobile Application.

Business Problem:
Integrating SAP Backend with Web Application or Mobile Application reliably using API and with minimal licensing cost.

Solution:
Boomi plays integral role in integration to & from SAP backend to any frontend. it allows widely used APIs that are standardized under OpenAPI standards. it also provide Odata service integration with which we can directly communicate with SAP. this allows us to query the SAP like GraphQl does. we get control of what we want from SAP rather than creating new API for every use case.

Pros

SAP Odata Integration
OpenAPI Standards
Connect to SAP S/4 Hana

Cons

Streamline Error Responses
Live Two-Way binding of Data
Better Documentation particularly in SAP segment

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

The Future: Boomi

Rating: 9 out of 10

May 16, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Problem is the lack of proper integration mechanisms to smoothly integrate these systems with the business systems, while ensuring secured flow of information without any discrepancies in the service/data delivery flows. Here comes the need for Application Programming Interface (API). API provides a standard way for these systems to interact with each other, thereby making

Pros

Hybrid Integration for both on-premise and cloud systems
Low code to no code setup
Various Endpoints

Cons

Cost effiency
Integration to communication tools such as Viber/WhatsApp/Messenger etc
API Management & Development

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

August 8, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Boomi is primarily a technical tool to connect business systems, and, hence, it is used by the Business Technology teams. It caters to the integration needs of Sales, Marketing, and Finance. It connects and helps in ETL from different sources and systems and integrates with Salesforce. It is a great iPaas tool that reduces manual effort and cuts down the development time for someone to come in and write code.

Pros

Quick releases.
Built-In integrations.
Doesn't require resources to be very technical.

Cons

Achieving some complex scenarios always gets tricky.
Working with APIs is an issue.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited:

ETL items
Updating CRM —Salesforce from different sources
Integrations

Not well suited:

API updates

How Boomi served my company

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

August 6, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it across the company to unify our internal and external applications, and integrated by our analyst team to accelerate our customers' processes, mainly integrated with Salesforce, but also other SAAS systems. We've worked with Dell's Boomi with no major complaints reported by either internal employees or customers so definitely I would recommend it.

Pros

Easy integration
Supportive and patient customer service.
Perfectly priced for mid-sized companies.
New connectors added constantly.

Cons

UI not very attractive.
Somewhat limited dashboard.
Performance drop-downs once a while.

Likelihood to Recommend

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 - Easy Systems Integration + Value

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

August 6, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dell Boomi is used as a middleware between systems to allow our systems to communicate with each other. It passes data from one system to another and back. It helps support our ordering process for the products we sell. It is implemented and used by one team, primarily, but it reaches across and affects the entire organization because of its use in our ordering process. Without Dell Boomi, our systems would not be able to communicate with each other so effectively, and it would cripple our product provisioning process.

Pros

Dell Boomi is very easy to use
Dell Boomi is very easy to set up
Dell Boomi is cost-effective
Dell Boomi is an excellent service offered by an excellent company

Cons

A new, improved UI for Dell Boomi would be a nice-to-have
A user management place for Dell Boomi would be a nice-to-have
Integration with other systems such as CRM systems would be a nice-to-have

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

One of the best low code middleware

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

July 21, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were using this middleware in our COE IT department for all our clients. This reduces the manual work and cost of the company through this automation. Currently we are using Dell Boomi for all our integration, more than 25+ projects. As of now, we are using only the integration module in Dell Boomi.

Pros

One of the best middleware which has a low code platform
Time savings compared to coding
Most important thing it has is drag and drop functionality which has quite fan base.
Easy to learn and become a developer.

Cons

I suggest is that for enterprise edition they can give the license upto to 20 default.
In test and production both they can give the same license count for enterprise by default.
They can add the excel file format to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

July 14, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Yes. we are using Dell Boomi when there is integration between source and target system to exchange the data.

Pros

BPM Flow which is used to design the process
API Management
Boomi Atom sphere which handles cloud admins. This feature I didn't saw in other technology.

Cons

Process management needs to improve. Actually, it is taking more steps to open and check the instance.
Need to improve the User manual to understand core things w.r.t developer
Need to improve the free license to increase the number of external connections while learning the Dell Boomi

Likelihood to Recommend

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

Dell Boomi Review May 2021

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

May 15, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dell Boomi is used as the main integration tool connecting the main CRM application to the other applications in the IT landscape of the organization. It is also mainly replacing the other legacy integrations, which were developed previously on basic languages like .NET, etc. It is addressing business problems like high development effort and time to roll out an integration need. Definitely the tool justifies a definition of an iPaaS.

Pros

Easy to build a basic integration. Less time taken to develop an integration.
Lesser learning curve. Good training materials available.
Very powerful shapes like map which can do thousands of field mapping with a click of a button.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
