Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.
NarendraThota - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that helps save money in the long run with a need to offer users the ability to deal with large datasets
From an improvement perspective, Boomi AtomSphere Flow should come up with the ability to deal with large datasets. The data integration part is a concern when you try to connect to an on-premises environment since the latency is high, making it an aspect where improvements are required to reduce the latency. Whenever Boomi AtomSphere Flow gets integrated with applications like SAP, it is important to ensure that what you develop is user-friendly, which is a process that takes time, especially when compared with webMethods.io or TIBCO. 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.
