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.

The visual program provides the advantage of only requiring one skill set for both the front and backend
We are using all aspects of OutSystems. We use it in almost all of our applications, application development, migration, and modernization. Basically, we use it for almost any traditional technology like .NET and Java OutSystems requires only one skill set for both the frontend and backend. As…

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 integrated through APIs, it exposes the API and any product can call the APIs in the queue. Additionally, it is secure."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is very easy to develop and maintain compared to other tools like SAP HANA Cloud Integration or Cloud Platform."
"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."
"It provides for faster development and better software releases."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems with discipline and the development processes. Instead of each developer doing tasks on their own with their own approach, et cetera, the solution would help bring some organization to the development process."
"The visual program of OutSystems is one of the major advantages of this solution."
"The scratch coding is useful. The solution is easy to understand."
"You can go huge - so it is definitely a scalable solution."
"The most important features of this tool are its visual modeling capabilities and drag and drop functionality. You can see what you are coding which makes it easy to understand and maintain. They have also created a big revolution in digital transformation by introducing native mobile app development under the same IDE."
"Their out-of-the-box UI is quite good."
"The architecture of OutSystems is quite simple, and the features are similar to Mendix's. OutSystems has connectors for different enterprise apps and solid reporting capabilities. You can also integrate with any content management platform like SharePoint or Adobe Enterprise Manager, or something like that. You can also create and integrate workflows."
 

Cons

"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 solution could improve by being more user-friendly. The whole solution is used through an interface and it could always be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."
"I like the OutSystems platform. I am working on integrating it with another platform using APIs, however, it has proven to be difficult. The main issue I am facing is obtaining authorization tokens as well as access and refresh tokens. It may be due to my lack of knowledge of APIs as it is new to me."
"Its ability to create and run automated tasks could be better."
"I'd like to see AI features integrated into the solution."
"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."
"It's difficult to do the component version control. I would like them to add more studying materials."
"The tutorials for the solution should be updated."
"We had some lagging issues under high data loads, and the solution needed to be customized to improve this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since its pricing positioning has a different construction with respect to its competitors, the solution is sometimes way more expensive and sometimes less expensive."
"When you use Boomi AtomSphere Flow in production, you have to pay for licenses. The solution is not expensive but it could be cheaper."
"I would rate it five to six out of ten."
"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
"OutSystems was open to a deal that worked for both sides."
"The tool’s licensing is based on the user’s usage."
"As for licensing costs, I'm not directly involved in that aspect."
"There are no additional costs with the standard license."
"The solution is expensive. The platform is not suitable for all of my clients. I work with labor unions and other smaller organizations that would not be able to afford the platform's current pricing model. It would be beneficial if there were a scaled-down version or a tiered pricing option that would allow me to build an app or a web app that is more cost-effective for my clients. Currently, the platform's pricing is too high for many of my clients, who would not be able to afford something in the $50,000 to $100,000 range."
