A competent solution for integrating enterprise-grade software
The solution is very stable. When it gets pushed to the limit, it starts breaking. For example, it's a bad design when you are using Dell Boomi for millions of records in processing, such as updating a database for millions of records. It doesn't work as efficiently. But if you're using it for a reasonable volume, it is a fantastic tool. Recently, for a client, we were having trouble processing because the volume of the data was high in terms of updating the table. Dell Boomi took about ten hours, but I know tools that could have done this in less time. Dell Boomi is probably not designed for these things; if you push the limits and try to anyway, it breaks.

Effectively automates any business process but needs to be more user-friendly
I use Pega BPM to automate business use cases and integrate third-party application data into applications designed on Pega Platform Previously, our HR onboarding application ran in silos, so everything was happening separately. Pega BPM allowed us to consolidate all the data in one place, from…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In the long run, if you have a good team, solution architect, and an architect from Boomi's side, then it is a good tool from an ROI perspective since it can help save money."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is very easy to develop and maintain compared to other tools like SAP HANA Cloud Integration or Cloud Platform."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is integrated through APIs, it exposes the API and any product can call the APIs in the queue. Additionally, it is secure."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its core integration with Boomi AtomSphere because it's extremely easy to tap into any informational system of a company."
"Allowed us to develop and quickly release with confidence using cloud technologies."
"Fast prototyping."
"It cuts down the time taken for coding. Earlier it used take for us four hours to do a particular code. Now this can be done in less than 30 minutes. That's the kind of productivity gains you can get."
"The interface is quite simple and easy to use, even for beginners."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
"Pega BPM offers a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities."
"In general, we use web services to integrate this solution with our other tools. It is the main approach we use with this solution and it integrates with all tools that we need. If you want to integrate with other solutions such ThreatFire or similar, it is possible as well."
"There are a lot of frameworks in the product. I use Pega PRPC the most."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. The whole solution is used through an interface and it could always be improved."
"The development effort with Boomi AtomSphere Flow is more when you compare it with other tools, which is a drawback and an area of improvement."
"Its stability could be improved."
"The solution's user interface building needs improvement."
"The training aspect of Pega BPM requires significant enhancement. There should be more opportunities for third-party training and engaging events, such as hackathons where individuals can share their expertise. Additionally, the training structure itself should be more organized, as I have received feedback from my colleagues in the COE that the current training approach is overwhelming and requires excessive referencing to obtain accurate information. Another area for improvement would be the user experience with regard to RPA. Simplifying the IDA for citizen developers would make it easier for them to adopt the RPA tool."
"Business specific functionality is needed."
"I believe they simplify the application development. It is still complex. The learning is not easy, it takes time compared to other products on the market."
"Pega BPM's documentation should be improved, especially for freshers or new trainees."
"If it could also be integrated with robotics, it could help with a lot of things, even if we don't have APIs, we could still talk to other applications. If it could invoke a bot, for example."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"I think there is room for improvement in the low code/ no code environment that they're promoting now. That needs to be aligned a little bit more. I still feel that it is not that friendly for a person who has no experience with Pega to just go in and try to create something."
"This is an expensive solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you use Boomi AtomSphere Flow in production, you have to pay for licenses. The solution is not expensive but it could be cheaper."
"Since its pricing positioning has a different construction with respect to its competitors, the solution is sometimes way more expensive and sometimes less expensive."
"The costing model for Pega BPM is different. One is a license that you can pay yearly. Another licensing model for Pega BPM is based on the number of cases you create in production in a year. Costing based on use cases is also available for Pega BPM. I don't have information on its exact pricing or costs, though."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
"I rate Pega BPM a seven out of ten."
"They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
"It is cost-effective for medium enterprises. It is cheaper than ServiceNow."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
"Pega is expensive."
