Dell Boomi is being used to seamlessly integrate multiple software platforms across the company. The software solutions are primarily across finance, IT, and sales software solutions. My team leveraged Dell Boomi with our EPM tool, Host Analytics, to connect with various other data repositories, which gives us the right data to craft accurate forecasts and reports.
  • Easy to set up.
  • Works with cloud or on-premise solutions.
  • Works with a large suite of applications.
  • Reliable and performs well.
  • Security is just OK.
  • The cost could be lower.
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 enables data connectivity across multiple enterprise systems.
  • Empowers deeper analysis due to additional data availability.
  • More time spent on analysis vs data consolidation and validation.
I'm not aware of major competitors to Dell Boomi. Dell Boomi feels like the de-facto standard that my Finance and IT teams have used for several years. We are happy with it.
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.
My IT and Finance teams have noted that setting up the tool is a breeze. Dell Boomi has never caused an issue during a system implementation that I am aware of. We are pleased with the tool and recommend others consider it.

We are using it as middleware primarily for EDI, but also for integrations with other platforms, such as Shopify and other internal processes. We rely on it to make sure that our data is getting where it needs to go and in a timely fashion. It is critical for our business.
  • Data transformation.
  • Re-trying of transactions.
  • Logging of transactions.
  • EDI mapping is not as simple as other software for EDI mapping.
  • Would benefit from the ability to track and see deployed and schedules processes.
  • Support services can be cumbersome and slow to respond.
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.

  • Reduced missed transactions.
  • Saved time on researching issues.
  • Allowed for consolidated reporting.
The Dell Boomi tool was chosen prior to my arrival but it is more robust than most EDI tools and works well as an overall middleware platform.
It is very responsive and very rarely is the platform not available but when it is the back-end processes are still running.
Again it is a good tool but more cumbersome an tools just for EDI. So this rating is taking that into account.

Matrix implements Boomi iPaas as part of a bigger solution for the Ministry of Heath in Israel. We use Boomi in order to integrate all the different medical providers in Israel (MOH, Hospitals and Medical Insurance) and create a large B2B administrative network. The final project will allow patients and medical providers to interact using portals and will automate many manual administrative processes.
  • Connect to different technologies and applications using built-in connectors from Boomi.
  • Enable very fast delivery/development/deployment.
  • Very flexible -- allows you to add functionality easily (with Groovy script for example).
  • The community is great.
  • I think that at the moment we miss File listener connector and Database listener connector (we get events from FS or DB).
Dell Boomi is a very good iPaaS solution. Still, iPaaS may be a problem (here in Israel) for financial and sensitive organizations.

  • We are still in development ...
Specifically as an iPaaS solution, Boomi has a very good, easy to use, and fast to learn platform, which can be accessed from anywhere and any time.
From our testing it seems to work as fast as needed, getting near real-time processes.
It has a very easy interface. It took about 2 weeks to learn and start working with.

We are using Boomi to process B2B reports from our suppliers and input transactions into NetSuite automatically. We are also planning to have more integration (NetSuite and Namely). So far, it's only used by the eBusiness team but when more application integration is implemented, more departments could be involved such as HR. Boomi can reduce a lot of manual effort.
  • Drag and drop user interface. No programming language experience required.
  • It's all in the cloud. No maintenance effort needed except if using local atoms.
  • Pre-implemented connectors support a number of cloud services.
  • Big maps, profiles take time to load. But you need to wait for them load completely before any change. Otherwise, some incorrect thing (for example some links will be disconnected) will happen and it takes you much time to investigate.
  • The way Boomi processes documents may be different from the programming languages you are using. So you have to change your mindset logically when working with Boomi.
  • Logging and debugging is a hard process when you execute processes on Atom. Hopefully, Boomi can visualize an execution just like the way it does when running on test mode.
  • Number of features (shapes) are limited, you need to use them flexibly to meet your needs. Otherwise, you need to write some source code with custom scripts.
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.

  • From the view of a software engineer/developer, a negative impact is Boomi makes me work less with coding. I only need to implement some small lines of code for some custom script. The rest could be done with shapes, just drag and drop.
  • However, the above negative point is also a positive point that you don't need to be a developer to work with Boomi. Then on my team now, all other members such as QA/QC engineers also can work with Boomi.
  • Another positive thing is Boomi has limited shapes and you need to combine those shapes flexibly to reach your requirement, to meet what you want to do on Boomi. Then it could improve your logical thinking.
  • Dell Boomi comes with a good user interface. That allows users to drag and drop shapes.
  • Dell Boomi is from Dell. That is a company we can trust more than others.
  • Dell Boomi can provide us ability for integration as our requirements.
  • We see the implementation or development plan of Dell Boomi in future.
The atom sphere takes a time to load, when I open a process or when I open a log. One more slow processing is when I import objects from NetSuite.
About the performance of processing, it looks like Boomi takes a time to initialize some things such as connectors before starting the process. This is also performance we have.
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.

Dell Boomi makes mapping between systems easier than ever. We also had to create custom logic for our data to match different values across our CRM, servers and automation platforms. Boomi made the experience easy with great training and customer service.
  • Mapping: they have an auto mapping tool for 1 to 1 fields, but then also allows for very custom logic so that values can be passed in the most usable way.
  • Built-in integration to nearly every platform.
  • Total customization of processes.
  • It would be nice if it was easier to find what processes affect each other. In the folder structure, you have some of that ability, but because you can reuse the same logic across different processes it can be difficult to find the original source. Naming conventions are important.
  • The way they charge you per a connection is very useful as you can reuse connections more than once. The issue runs into limits, so before you start building, it is important to understand all the limits of all of your systems, and don't create a connection for each one or you are paying too much. This isn't something that was articulated well.
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.

  • We used it out of need, but I can see how being able to access the data from your own servers and connect to anywhere, including Martech, to better understand and start using predictive marketing, could really increase ROI.
Much more customization and a larger learning curve, but, overall, I would recommend Boomi over all others.
I haven't had any issues with slow load times or processing speeds.
Very versatile. When looking to sync your data and need something that will work both out of the box or with customization, Boomi should be on your short list.
