Overall Satisfaction with Dell Boomi

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Dell Boomi to develop integration flows between various end systems on cloud and on-premise. For example, the complete eCommerce flow and the sales channel processing of my client firm is designed using Dell Boomi. The low code and user-friendly UI makes it easy to develop interfaces in a short span of time. Dell Boomi MDM is also leveraged in many of the use cases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Low Code, user-friendly UI
Various inbuilt connectors and features like Boomi suggests which makes development easier and faster
Readily available materials and fast response through Boomi communities and user guides with solutions to complex problems

Cons

For some transformation areas, we still have to use scripting, like for dynamically converting xml to csv or vice versa without defining a specific profile. These ideas are addressed in the communities.

Return on Investment

Reduced the time taken for development
Reduced the number of resources needed for development

Alternatives Considered

WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere DataPower Gateway

Dell Boomi is a low code cloud-based tool and it has a lot more inbuilt features compared with these tools.

Likelihood to Recommend

Areas where Boomi is well suited:
1) Salesforce integration
2) Netsuite integration
3) Successfactors integration
4) When the technical team does not know or is not keen on learning a scripting language in deep

Areas where Boomi is not well suited:
1) Heavy data load scenarios. Eventhough Boomi have run times which provides supports for heavy data load, there are other tools which handles these scenarios well.
