Compared to rest of the solutions, Boomi is centered around solving this exact problem not in just the landscape of SAP but many other backends. this puts them in place of very experienced in term of integration in wide range of scenarios. they most probably have encountered all the problems that arise while working with integration. so you'll be in good hand if your workloads are critical and centered around integration.

Boomi in the Integration Space
Boomi is one of the best integration platforms out there, but it still has its niche. It is suitable for most integration scenarios especially those that doesn't require very high throughput. The runtime could be hosted on-prem and in the cloud or even in a hybrid mode, which allows for accessing cloud as well as on-prem applications behind the company's firewall. It's easy to use and doesn't require high level of technical knowledge. SnapLogic and Jitterbit are similar products in what they do and where they are suited, so the decision could be based on the client's specific requirements. SnapLogic could be better for data-integration scenarios. Jitterbit could be much cheaper, so could make sense for companies with higher budget constraints. Mulesoft has a bigger breadth of features and complexity, but it's a much more expensive solution. Workato could work best for cloud-to-cloud integration and automation scenarios and it's a fully SaaS platform, so might be a better option if you don't want to manage any infrastructure for the integration platform.

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.

Dell Boomi - Easy Systems Integration + Value
We decided to go with Dell Boomi because another department in our company was already using the software. We did not research competitor applications to use as our business solution. Dell Boomi was very easy and quick to set up, so once we decided to use Dell Boomi for systems integration, we had it set up and running within a few working days.

One of the best low code middleware
As I was new to Integration, I needed to explore new middleware like Dell Boomi [to compare to] the first middleware used by our organization. But [so far in my experience] I have been so excited to use this integration tool for automation. But this will be a different environment when compared to other middlewares.

Dell Boomi Review May 2021
Mulesoft was evaluated by [and] definitely was not the right fit for the organization considering the type of integrations which were built in the enterprise historically. Dell Boomi on the other hand was more graphical and was more easy to use and is the best ipaas at the moment and fits in with the overall cloud landscape.

Dell Boomi Integration in ERP centric environment
We evaluated Boomi with Mulesoft and Celigo. Boomi was recommended by Netsuite and it was the best all around solution that allowed for custom coding, but had drag/drop solution design. Mulesoft was much more technical and robust, but required a significant amount of coding for Netsuite and other tools we were using. Celigo was a great application, but much more plug and play and didn't have the depth in custom coding capabilities.

Dell Boomi gets the job done
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.

Make sure to consider Boomi
Much more customization and a larger learning curve, but, overall, I would recommend Boomi over all others.

I did not select Boomi. It is the tool used in the company. In my previous work I worked with InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage, and I can say that these tools are much more powerful when making transformations, alerts, connect to different sources. Boomi is good at handling files, and is fast and reliable, but limited in how you can govern the data.
We have used Oracle SOA since 2010 for our custom on-premise applications integration purposes. To some extent we were successful but overall we did not manage to integrate and build other than several business processes with it.
The main reasons were:
- the IT maintenance(running on-premise) was a nightmare
- the learning curve was huge even for software developers
- too many technologies to learn before becoming productive: BPM, BPEL, HumanTask, JDeveloper(IDE) etc
Going to Boomi removed all those hurdles mentioned above and we were able to release a major integration between ERP, vendors and internal apps in 6 months.

Fun product to learn and work with
I would choose Boomi every day for real-time integrations. I really enjoy using it. I would struggle to recommend using it for a batch application unless you really had to. SSIS seems like it would be a better choice if doing batch jobs but the learning curve is much higher than Boomi. I wouldn't use DataPower if I had to transform the data.

Ease of using Dell Boomi iPaas
We have evaluated Mulesoft as well before going with Dell Boomi. The only difference is the Complete Cloud architecture provided by Boomi and also the ease of using the software, where you don't need to install anything on a developer machine or testing machine or any quality system. Everything is based on web login and that provides very fast development of the flows.

Dell Boomi - no installation. Start immediate coding - it's the best thing which I like. Now all PaaS providers are doing same. Dell Boomi entered the game first.
Our team has used Actian DataConnect since the Mid 1990's. It was formerly known as Data Junction and then Pervasive Data Integrator. We looked at Boomi as an additional tool to aid in our Integrations. We did compare it to Informatica and thought it was a better fit for our customers.
We have been using Boomi and doing great. I like the way we can break down data into small units of work. It simplifies how to handle multi-conditional pathing and the unit of work level.
Currently, I am working at SFCG, using various tools to build integrations into Oracle CX products. When we started kicking the tires on Boomi and in the training and development since that time, I've tried a series of processes out that have given me trouble in other tools. Below is a brief recap of my experience and growing admiration for the way in which this tool has made my job easier.
My first goal with using Boomi was to connect to an instance of CRM On-Demand (a task that can on other platforms be a time-consuming endeavor). What I found was a useful wizard, pictured below, with a series of pop-up steps to follow.
In other tools, I have spent more time in trying to define the schemas, than actually completing the maps that use them. Boomi reduced that time from my process. This is one small example of many demonstrating how my teammates and I feel as if we were working in black and white and are now working in color with Boomi AtomSphere. Tasks I've taken for granted are complex, time-consuming and meticulous are simplified, streamlined and transformed with powerful features like Boomi Suggest - a handy feature that leverages the collective intelligence of the Boomi community to suggest which fields should be mapped in a Data Map.
You don't need to take my word for it, another member of our team, Li Mo started building out an integration to Oracle Sales Cloud, using the SOAP API Connector. He was able to do a complete integration to insert a record into the Account entity, and it took about an hour and a half.
Note: it had been about 1 month since we both actually took the training courses. I believe we choose an additional tool that plays to the inner strengths of working in the cloud, and I can not wait until I start full blown to continue development on new integration projects using Dell Boomi AtomSphere.
Recommendations to other buyers: Try it to see if it fits your needs.
- Azuqua and Mulesoft
Even though Azuqua may be a bit more user friendly, Boomi can handle many more situations. Azuqua couldn't handle the majority of the processes we wanted to perform.

Boomi - Integrate, evolve and succeed
I have used other integration tools as well (with 10 years of integration experience). Eventually, I liked Boomi for its simplicity and easy graphical representation, development, installation, versioning and deployment. Testing Boomi processes is another plus because it is easy to debug. In other tools, I used build custom components for most business needs but Boomi has connectors for almost every business need.

I have only worked with Boomi. I do not know what the CIO evaluated prior to my arrival at the company.
