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.

Provides built-in frameworks that can be reused and reduces time and cost
The frameworks are built over the core Pega platform. All the codes are already built. A user can directly use the framework according to their needs. All the corresponding data models and processes already built in the framework can be reused with our custom layer. The tool reduces our costs. It is faster to implement. The solution has everything. It is model-driven. It generates its own code. It has a rules engine. Previously, Pega had its own UI. Now, we have Constellation DX API. It helps us have any user interface we need, like Angular or React. API helps create work objects in the workflow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"It's a good tool for workflow automation."
"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."
"Case Management, as well as Workflow Automation, are Pega's most powerful capabilities."
"The ability to define processes, build reports, and get insights or analytics on data is most valuable. It is a powerful platform."
"They're pretty easy to create, and they're pretty easy to deploy."
"Fast prototyping."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"The workflow designing and integration are the most valuable features. Also, the UI design was pretty easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Pega BPM could be improved by including token-based authentication and extending its integration options."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"The way the IDE works with the chatbox and the taxonomy imports could be a little smoother."
"The UI part needs improvement."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Lack of stronger cloud support is somewhat inconvenient for users and implementation."
"Pega is claiming they're into low code but as per Gartner Magic Quadrant, Pega is not there now."
"Compared to other BPM products, the interface is somewhat complex, so the usability could be improved."
 

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."
"Its pricing is on the higher side, but they have come up with different plans and different small products that can be used by smaller organizations that don't have that much money to spend. They have different pricing packages depending on the number of users or depending upon the number of cases created in the production or live environment."
"In terms of the price, if I were to compare Pega to other tools, it would be more expensive, but it would also provide you with the same features."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
"They're very cagey in giving out prices, and it is very difficult to find out the real price any organization is going to get. It is almost never their list price, if you can find it, and there are a lot of factors that go into the whole pricing."
"May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
"Pricing is good."
