Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Boomi to upload data for the client to our application. Boomi is used in the technical areas of the company, and is for loading different types of files (flat files, XML, EDI, etc). Boomi tells us the information of each client that comes with different formats

Pros and Cons

File profile
Interact with Groovy code
File treatments: It is quick to process them

Formatting dates
The ability to connect to any server, so that it is not necessary that the files reside locally

Return on Investment

We have not yet measured the ROI of it.

Alternatives Considered

IBM InfoSphere Information Server

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.

Other Software Used

IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Oracle Data Integrator, Informatica Enterprise Data Integration

Likelihood to Recommend

Suitable for processes that manipulate files, and file movement. Less suitable for processes with complex transformations, or when you need to debug processes to find programming issues.
