Overall Satisfaction with Boomi

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
  • Application Integration
  • Data Synchronization
  • APIs
  • Drag and Drop Intuitive Workflow Designer
  • Connecting to various Enterprise Platforms such as NetSuite, SAP, MS Dynamics, Shopify
  • Elastic Scaling
  • Microservices-based Architecture
  • Monitoring & observability
  • High throughput scenarios
  • Breadth of features
  • Ease of use
  • Rapid development and time to market
  • Supported digital transformation initiatives
  • Quick turnaround and efficiency in delivering projects and new solutions
  • Cost savings in terms of resources needed to build and manage the integration layer
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.

Yes

Would you buy Boomi again?

Yes

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.
