Dell Boomi for your systems integration needs

Comentários: We have complex requirements to integrate with a various cloud and on premise applications, related to the semiconductor manufacturing business of our company. Also, b2b integration with 30+ suppliers is needed.
Though I was skeptical initially that Boomi can cover our needs, after joining their first Boomi World in 2017 and talking to Boomi specialists and with their customers, I was convinced we are on the right track.
Now, few years later I can say Boomi was a good choice.

Vantagens:

By definition, Boomi is built for systems integration. What this means is that you get a long list of out of the box integration connectors (90+). We have used Boomi to seamlessly integrate our NetSuite ERP with: - cloud applications: Namely, OpenAIR, Box - on premise applications: Secure FTP, custom API for Oracle Agile PLM and custom apps It has covered most of our integration needs with a relatively small to medium effort.

Desvantagens:

Also by definition, Boomi is built with the idea that not only technical people can do these integrations. This is one reason that higher management of a company can be "pursued" to purchase it. However, in reality non-technical people can only achieve very simple integrations with the drag&drop features of the platform. More technical knowledge is needed because most of the times the requirements are more complex and require custom scripting/mapping between data formats.

Boomi - walks the talk with clouds!

Comentários: I have been working on Dell Boomi last 3 years and I fell in love with it. And the Boomi community is being knowledge repository ensuring you get all your solutions needs. I have also been one Boomi champions for helping may developers to excel in their design and development.

Vantagens:

I have worked on many integration tools in my IT careers but the most interesting and fun to design is Boomi. It's ease of use is tremendous and any developer would love it. And who ever has basic knowledge of Integration can learn quickly.

Desvantagens:

Some features are missing like audit logs use of ease and extensible properties change needs to be locked why making changes after deployment.

Boomi Review

Comentários: The simplicity of editing the integration and mappings made it a great tool

Vantagens:

It is a very powerful integration tool between SuccessFactors Employee Central and SAP On Premise/HCM

Desvantagens:

Since not being fully supported by SAP anymore, it has become obsolete. Other integration tools must now be used instead

Fast development with an easy-to-use interface

Comentários: It has been a very positive experience partnering with Dell Boomi. They are there every step of the way, are ultra-responsive and eager to help. They can and do act to make improvements to the product based upon our feedback. It is exciting to see the product get better all the time.

Vantagens:

The interface not only makes designing and programming easy, it also makes processes easy to update in the future. The design makes it simple to re-use components, you don't have to re-invent the wheel every time or slog through a lot of code when you need to make changes. Boomi also has an epic user community that been a great problem-solving resource.

Desvantagens:

There need to be more built in features to reduce the amount of custom scripting and SQL that needs to be written.

Just loved it but something is still missing

Comentários: My overall experience of Dell Boomi is really good. I really loved the fact that one doesn't need any high level programming skills to integrate with ERP systems. Boosted performance of many projects of mine in a very less time. I uses Dell Boomi mostly for reporting purpose.

Vantagens:

It is very user friendly and easy to use. Compatibility with other apps is really very good. The number of connectors available in the software is good. A huge number of tools are available for the development. Threat protection feature is really useful.

Desvantagens:

Although it is a value for money product but not all the customers can buy it, so the first concern is of the price. Debugging process must have been simpler but still a little bit complex now. It is not compatible with excel. The logs created had not enough information and this can be troublesome for someone whose system ran into a issue and can find problems while solving it. Less documentation.

Boomi is a good middle solution between easy integrations and complex custom integrations

Comentários: Boomi is a good middle-of-the-road solution. If you have an admin dedicated to it and have enterprise software that has an emphasis on good data and integration, it gets the job done.

Vantagens:

Boomi supports pretty much every software platform you can think of and allows for more custom integrations than Zapier

Desvantagens:

You need to understand Boomi pretty well to make your dream integration come true. There are learnings resources out there, but they take time.

Boomi Integration for Higher Education

Comentários: We have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of different applications and services on campus and we desperately need integration and Boomi looks like a great solution. We are early in its use and so far it looks like it will make a huge difference on simplifying access to data for our campus community.

Vantagens:

Like the visual layout at the higher level with the ability to use scripts for more complicated details. Great support. I reported a bug, everything has bugs, and a fix came in the very next release.

Desvantagens:

The pricing model, based on number of connections, doesn't make much sense for our situation. But they are good about working with us on options.

Boomi Product Review

Comentários: Great

Vantagens:

Ease of use and easy to develop and manage

Desvantagens:

Atom Queue is not a good enterprise Queue solution

Ease of Use

Comentários: Overall positive.

Vantagens:

Simple to use, quick to develop. I was able to develop a workable process in one day!

Desvantagens:

Auto-names objects which can lead to confusion over which is the correct version. Gives 4 levels of errors when setting up email notifications - but there still can be an error during a process execution which would NOT trigger the email, so the only way to discover this error is the go to the Execution console.

EDI - Faster, Cheaper & API Ready

Comentários: We have improved operational efficiency of 100%.
Cross utilization of resources
Future proof for EDI
and 1600% ROI

Vantagens:

The UI was one of the main reasons that we chose Boomi over 12 other solutions. That being said other than the UI, the ability to decrease our EDI onboarding time from 6-10 weeks to 2 weeks was a massive reason for us to move to Boomi. 1600% ROI

Desvantagens:

There are some minor work arounds required for certain things. The biggest of which is actually the need for a Proxy server when migrating customers over to a "new" AS2 certificate.

Boomi - achieve peace-of-mind

Comentários: We've used Dell Boomi to support Re-pricing and Order management integration over the past several years. Our processes submit approx. 1-2 million API calls a day to our ERP and marketplace channel management platforms. The most important thing I can say about Boomi is the peace of mind it brings...Once you get a process built and tested...it's just works! I worry about all of our other platforms going down or cringe when new updates are released. I've never had that worry with Boomi. They perform monthly releases, and I've never had a release break one of our processes. Given the range of tools available to construct integration processes, there is almost always a way to accomplish a process. Typically the challenge becomes picking the best way to solve the problem with the various options available. One thing that has drastically improved over the past year or two is the information/knowledge base and participation of the Boomi user community. Several years ago if you had questions on how to do something, it would take a while to figure things out. The new Community platform is thriving with lots of very useful information to help beginners get started building processes. The only negative I've ever had and continue to have is cost. Depending on the number of connections (distinct endpoints) you require for your integration needs, things can get expensive quickly. This is one area in which I wish Boomi would get creative. Even if you are using basic local DISK connections or simple HTTP endpoint connections (as opposed to branded connectors such as SF.com, or Netsuite), every endpoint will cost you an additional $300/month. Some pricing-flexibility on bundling certain types of connectors would be a great improvement. For this reason I deducted some stars in the "Value For Money" rating. However, I'll end by re-iterating my opening comments. That cost delivers a huge benefit...Boomi is a robust, stable platform, and you will achieve piece of mind for your integrations that run within it.

Vantagens:

Development environment.

Desvantagens:

Cost

Stream integration solution

Comentários: the interface is nice and I'm ordering again

Vantagens:

the platform is easy to use and has many advantages for integration

Desvantagens:

bugs occur from time to time that the only problem

Boomi Makes IPaaS easy

Comentários: On the projects I have been on Boomi has been able to deliver everything that the clients have wanted and more. From EDI, to API integrations, and even MDM integrations, Boomi has been able to deliver. Developing for these projects has been straight forward and support has been awesome!

Vantagens:

Boomi makes integration development a simple easy way to connect to other applications. The ability to create patterns that can be used in other integrations within Boomi makes development simple and accessible for new projects.

Desvantagens:

Minor performance issues with large volumes of data. There are also instances where some component windows do not work as expected or have a poor usability due to limited visibility.

Integrating System and Data to Help Save Wetlands

Comentários: Overall I would say that my experience with Dell Boomi has been very positive. The sales and support team have always been prompt and friendly without the pressure. We're currently in transition from a monolithic on premise custom build system to a more off the shelf and distributed architecture and Boomi has been essential to this process from day one. In the near future I believe we will be added Master Data Hub and API Managment services to our account and will be interested in getting a better understanding of Flow.

Vantagens:

The recent change that I like the best is the redesign of the Groovy/Javascript IDE shapes. Prior to the redesign the old text box was a major pain point, but the redesign removed that altogether.

Desvantagens:

Sometimes having to set authentication/directory information in a properties shape prior to the non-starting connector shape can be obtuse and with simpler integrations can add unneeded complexity. Perhaps if there was a way of setting the properties in the the connector shape, but allow them to be overridden by a properties shape earlier in the process.

Boomi Developer Ease

Vantagens:

Ease of developing an integration. The product is self document there are a lot of options for connectors pre-built. There is a vast support network of resources help and training available to aid in understanding the development life cycle.

Desvantagens:

The product requires a lot of resources when running. Some development processes and methods are not as straight forward and take experience and trial and error to work around what should logically work 1 way but need to be handled in a less straight forward manner.

Speed of developement

Comentários: We started out small with one atom and a single integration. This integration went so well we moved to adopt Boomi as our corporate wide iPaas.

Vantagens:

Speed to deployment. We had a proof of concept up and running in one day. The development and deployment cycle fits perfectly with Agile

Desvantagens:

I'd like to see some more functionality in one or two of the connectors.

Bhoomi a Easy Integration tool on Cloud

Comentários: We tried to integrated different systems like SAP ERP from DOT, CRM from different departments, Mainframe systems, FTP and providing webservices for different external clients

Vantagens:

It is very easy to use. 80 percentage can be done without coding and the rest of the development can be done with limited Java Scrpting functionality.It integrates seamlessly with different systems (etl, ftp, webservices etc)

Desvantagens:

Customization is the biggest challenge and lack of thd documentation of the product

My Dell Boomi View

Comentários: Overall experience is good but I still see a lots of improvement points for the development environment. Also memory and multi threading options appears a bit tricky with Dell Boomi. Checkpointing of the processing would add lots of value to the product in terms of recovering the the half way processed transactions.

Vantagens:

Common development environment along with version control and revision history. Development environment on cloud can enable a developer to become productive from day one. Single place deployment and complete code life cycle management. Common Dashboard to monitor the integer landscape components. Automated housekeeping of logs and temporary files.

Desvantagens:

Memory management is a bit tricky, no option to allocate memory to specific integration processes. Multi threading not very efficient and controllable. Configuration Parameter management through process extentions is a bit complex and confusing. Dependency on internet for development activity. In case of any network issue developer cannot continue with the development.

Dell Boomi vs the world

Comentários: Speed to go-live

Vantagens:

Ease of implementation, use, and functionality

Desvantagens:

Molecules and its use Licensing to be more transparent

Integration Platform

Comentários: Integration with Oracle DB and clients database was done using Dell Boomi. Spreadsheet source was leveraged as client had an in house DB.

Vantagens:

1. Out of box connectors which can be used to connect to many sources like excel, Oracle DB etc. 2. Very easy to use with point and click type of UI. 3. Javascript based so easy for most coders to use.

Desvantagens:

May need some time to train and there is some learning curve. However, extensive training material is available for this online.

Easy and reliable tool for all your integration needs

Comentários: The software enabled me to create many integrations in just a few weeks instead of months. You don't have to write any code which speeds up the developing, testing and deploying of your integrations.

Vantagens:

Dell Boomi provides many features to support integration development. It's easy to transfer data from one system to another with the use of default connectors and simple mappings. Boomi also provides your with the tools for more complex integrations. For example you can use business rules and decision shapes to validate your data and transfer it to different endpoints. Error handling and monitoring is also really thought trough.

Desvantagens:

The performance on the Boomi Cloud is not optimal. However, you can active an Atom Worker by contacting your Boomi rep to speed things up a bit. I only heard about this after a while and I wonder why the performance is not enabled by default.

Dell Boomi

Vantagens:

Dell Boomi integrates well with Salesforce. It is easy to use, requiring almost no programming language experience. No maintenance is needed.

Desvantagens:

Debugging is very difficult and the documentation has no examples.

Dell Boomi is Awesome

Comentários: This is my first middle ware. I am enjoying the work i do now than ever. Boomi simplified the number of lines of codes that we write to integrate/automate any process. I started learning this on my own, i never though it would be that easy to learn, of course by referring the documents that has been provided. During the certification course as well, i find it easy to complete. However, for me, the certification course is not worth for the money that I pay, Mainly because of the content. The expectation was it will cover all the components available with Dell Boomi but it is not. Over all, i am enjoying the integrations that i am configuring with Dell Boomi. The recent updates in community as well as Boomi platform is really good.

Vantagens:

Easy to learn Easy to configure local atoms easy to make any changes Amazingly quick support team Knowledge stored community

Desvantagens:

Content and the cost of certifications.

Essential tool for delivering for our customers

Comentários: Boomi is an essential product for our company that is needed in order to deliver for our customers in a timely fashion. I know that when I need Boomi it is up running and will reliably processes time and time again. We are able to make updates on the fly without disruptions which is critical in the heat of the moment.

Vantagens:

The system is very reliable as I can run processes through it routinely without having to be concerned about uptime. Once configured it works every time. It is great being able to plug in Boomi to some of our other automated systems and having feedback as to what happened with the file. Our teams are able to easily update existing processes without disruptions.

Desvantagens:

It can be time consuming to setup when creating a new complex process.
