Enables real-time insights and secure API management for efficient customer interactions
The main improvement needed is the ability to have different base URLs for HTTP and HTTPS for different clients. Currently, I can have only one base URL for one atom. It would help if I could set up a proxy with different URLs within Boomi as a simple configuration instead of needing external applications. Also, Boomi can integrate AI to manage backend loads and provide insights into runtime engine consumption.
Rajiv Bala Balasubramanian - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficiently manages and monetizes API
It is a scalable solution. You can add more computing power to your APM gateway. It also gives you the ability to have VNet integrations with your on-prem. It is one of the leading products in the API management space. It is not just software for users but software to handle requests. For example, for a B2C e-commerce store, all requests that users make from within the store pass through this API gateway. So it is defined by the number of requests to the API gateway, not by the number of actual users who use it. If you look at the number of requests, it would be a lot from all the different systems we have within Pampers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AtomSphere is tightly integrated into the Boomi iPaaS platform. And Boomi has been augmenting AtomSphere API Management for the past couple of years so version 2.0 is better than 1.0."
"Integrations take less time."
"AtomSphere API Management is a simple platform that's easy to use. If you're using it on-prem, there's a little learning curve."
"We can develop almost any interface that we need."
"The product's stability is good."
"Boomi allows for more secure URLs and easy customization of HTTP and HTTPS protocols, which I find very beneficial."
"We can create APIs straightforwardly and quickly and build jobs for data migration."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The initial setup is not that complex, but there are certain challenges."
"The ease of use of the solution is excellent."
"The documentation and configuration of APIs."
"I have found this solution to be easy to configure, simple to use, and flexible."
"The stability and performance are good. It is easy to install, and it scales well too."
"Azure APIM's best features are its straightforward access management (it's a single point of access for all monitoring and logging and for policy implementation) and its integration with the Azure Cloud infrastructure."
"The integration and API Connect are valuable when we need to connect with web services and REST APIs."
"The most valuable features are the API and integrations."
 

Cons

"Scalability is an area where Boomi lacks."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"The API management has room for improvement."
"From an improvement perspective, the price could be cheaper."
"It's difficult to integrate the on-prem application with the Dell Boomi Cloud. We have to check to ensure the Dell domain engine is running. It just requires some service endpoints from our on-prem application to connect to Dell Boomi Cloud to make it available to integrate. It would be better if AtomSphere API Management were offered as a purely SaaS application, so I wouldn't need an on-prem component to make it available. We could make a test call or provide some connection parameters. That should enable it to pull the data."
"The product is really complex to manage."
"To some degree, you need to know what type or amount of API you are creating - whether it's a rest API or web service API. You need to know ETL in order to really get the most out of Boomi."
"Most of the basic functionality is there in Boomi, but APG is a more feature-rich solution."
"Previously, our company's cloud services were shut down, and we used to take more time to update services, so such issues are areas where improvements are needed."
"Microsoft Azure API Management should have the ability to allow multitenancy."
"Multi-tenant functionalities is missing from the system, especially when it comes to the developer code of features."
"In the next release, Azure APIM should include deployment in various environments and CI/CD for deployment."
"I would like to see more security features become available."
"The documentation could be improved for the customer."
"The licensing fees should be cheaper."
"The hybrid part could be improved because API Management is entirely cloud-based, but some of our resources are on-prem, so formatting is an issue. Our goal is dual implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product can get very expensive quickly if you connect to multiple databases."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management is a cheap product."
"The price is reasonable."
"Boomi AtomSphere API Management gives customers a good price. Price-wise, the product is good."
"It's pay as you go. The subscription packages have room for different scales. It's calculated by the number of apps or computers you use. You do not have to use the enterprise subscription. These subscriptions have different pricing, so you can find one to meet your needs for scalability."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to others."
"I rate the solution's pricing between three and four, as it could be more competitive."
"The developer and standard pricing tiers of Azure API Management are very competitive compared to other products."
"Since everyone is isocentric here, it is reasonable for me."
"The price is comparable."
"Azure's pricing is very competitive compared to platforms like Apigee and MuleSoft."
"Azure API Management is the most expensive solution on the market."
