Overall Satisfaction with Boomi
We use Boomi for the integration need between legacy systems. My organization uses iPaaS for all integration related problems. Currently Boomi is used to address the problem we face sending data to another cloud platform. That is where Boomi plays a major role. Boomi integrates these systems by sending data in a format the destination system understands. And also Boomi does apply certain business logic to deal with certain business problems.
- Boomi is a wonderful cloud integration tool. It is easy to code or develop. And this is the easiest tool I have ever used for installation and deployment.
- Boomi also is a near real time data processing tool. Its atomsphere makes it easy for light weighted data processing.
- Boomi has lots of built in functions therefore eliminates the need for coding 90%.
- Boomi licensing is very cost effective. You do not have to buy the whole features of Boomi. Based your business need you can select features. This helps reduce cost and be more productive of the tool.
- Boomi does have room for improvement. Mainly in the areas of using connectors. I do encounter [issues] with a few connectors like SFTP, missing certain wild card filters while processing different types of files.
- There are a few functionalities also missing like processing large amounts of data. I very often see data getting lost when large amounts of data processed or it gets suspended without any specific failures.
- Look and feel could be improved in terms of moving or selecting a shape.
- Process report logs could provide more filter options.
- Boomi has very positive impact compared to other competitive tools. My clients are very happy that they can build their systems quickly and move data. Process development time is minimal and deployment is easy.
- In my current project, within 6 months we were able to build processes and go live. Which was well appreciated and happy with their investment.
- I do not find any negative impact to the business.
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.
