  • ROI was flat. Coding directly in apps we were knowledgable in would have been faster, but maintenance higher.
  • It brought good process to the integration team that was new, however I wouldn't say it was a huge gain monetarily. It is a valid path out of many paths for integration, but doesn't rule them all.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Positive impact: Dell Boomi helped us greatly reducing the cost of running a 15 years old version of ERP together with huge custom applications built for integrating with this ERP. By moving to Boomi cloud we have shut down 30+ servers running to support these apps.
  • Positive impact: Our goal is to become 100% cloud and going with Boomi made it possible for us to choose cloud apps for the business needs but also to keep the business requirements for integrating these clouds with the on-premise legacy apps. It really makes the transition to cloud smoother.
  • Negative impact: adopting Boomi with a team of software developers has a risk of losing people that want to focus on lower level programming technologies. We lost several software developers that didn't want to switch to Boomi.

  • It has allowed us to scale significantly without having to add headcount, specifically those geared towards data entry. We went from a $10m ARR business to $200m ARR business with the same amount of Order Processors and 12x amount of transactions by leveraging Boomi to perform a lot of the work, and then having the Order Processing team to simply review that the transaction was processed successfully.
