A highly scalable and reasonably stable tool that needs to improve on its prices

In my company, we use many video conferencing tools. I have seen that in video conferencing tools, the counterparts are very different. I have experience with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Tencent Meeting. I was not deeply involved in Boomi AtomSphere Integration since it was already up and running when I joined my company's project. I could look back in the past to find out the product's history, and that is the most I can do. I know what the product is used for, but I can't go too much into the details. Whether I would recommend the product or not actually depends on what a customer wants to achieve with the solution while also considering factors like the experience of the integration team and the kind of support a customer has in their company. It is not just about the technology but also the skills of a company or the partners with whom a company has relations. Compared to Boomi AtomSphere Integration, there are easier products around, like MuleSoft or Jitterbit. I see MuleSoft or Jitterbit evolving since they have established a lot of integrations, depending on the markets and other things. From my perspective, Jitterbit was easier to operate and set up, while MuleSoft tried to simplify their product a lot when compared to Boomi AtomSphere Integration. MuleSoft started off as a very complex product, but now it's getting easier and easier, and MuleSoft now has a lite version. I didn't hear anything about Boomi AtomSphere Integration, especially in terms of major product improvements, which I know about. I rate the overall tool a six out of ten.

Solution reduces time-to-value; high ROI

Fivetran has room for improvement in data pipeline observability. The Fivetran logs are fairly basic, compared to, for example, the insight Fivetran gives into helping users understanding the performance of data pipelines. So I think their observability into the pipeline itself could be improved. In addition, Fivetran is in the very early stages of allowing other companies to access its metadata API, but that's something that could use improvement, and I know that they're working on right now. We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool. It would be nice if Fivetran offered both their regular offering plus the reverse ETL option as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Very effective with its drag-and-drop feature."

"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."

"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."

"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."

"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."

"The platform is user-friendly."

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."

"It has been a stable product."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"The ease of setting up the connectors and transformations is highly valuable."

"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."

"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."

"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."

"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."

"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."

"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."

"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."

More Fivetran pros

Cons

"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."

"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."

"The product's UI could be more convenient."

"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Documentation could be improved."

"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."

"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."

"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."

"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."

"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."

"I would like to see an improvement in the support offered by Fivetran."

"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."

"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"

"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."

"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."

More Fivetran cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."

"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."

"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."

"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

"The solution is affordable."

"I would say they're a little bit on the expensive side, and their contract process is not particularly good, but there is a lot of potential flexibility."

"I've heard that the license for HVR is a bit costly compared to its competitors, but since it's reliable and efficient, I think the customer shouldn't be bothered about the cost."

"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."

"The licensing costs are extremely high for the usage of somebody who has one GB or two GB of usage per day for real-time traffic. There are many other players in the market which are similarly priced or competitively priced. On average per month, it used to come around 12,000-15,000 USD, which is very high."

"In the first year, we were given a very good discount. It was approximately 20,000 Euros per year. In the third year, we purchased credit for two years and the price was 33,000 Euros per year."

"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
