Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 11, 2024

Boomi iPaaS and Microsoft Azure Logic Apps are two significant players in the iPaaS category. Boomi iPaaS appears to have an edge for mid-sized companies with its low-code platform and hybrid deployment flexibility, while Azure Logic Apps shines in public cloud integration and ease of use within the Azure ecosystem.

Features: Boomi iPaaS is known for its mature drag-and-drop interface, extensive connectors, and low-code platform, making it ideal for mid-sized companies. It supports hybrid cloud, on-premises, and public cloud deployment. Microsoft Azure Logic Apps offers ease of use with its integration with Azure services, fast solution creation, and secure integration capabilities, best for public and hybrid clouds.

Room for Improvement: Boomi iPaaS could improve in API management, technical support, complexity for new users, and scripting features. It also faces challenges with local version control and integration pricing complexity. Azure Logic Apps needs enhancements in cost management, connector availability, documentation, scalability, and AI feature integration. Simplifying their pricing models could help both.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Boomi iPaaS offers deployment across hybrid, public, and private clouds, though initial setup complexity is noted. Its community support is strong, but technical support can vary. Azure Logic Apps primarily uses public cloud deployment, allowing easy integration within Azure. Its support is generally positive, but pricing clarity can be challenging.

Pricing and ROI: Boomi iPaaS uses a pay-per-use model based on connectors, which can be costly as integration needs grow, but it offers strong ROI. Azure Logic Apps follows a pay-as-you-go model with cost implications based on usage, providing efficient scalability but can be expensive with extensive use. Both offer faster time-to-market and high ROI but face complexities in pricing for broader adoption.

Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity

There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

Chief Engineer - Cloud | Azure | Integration at Numerics Cloud

Influenced cost savings by approximately seventy to eighty percent

I have worked on multiple platforms in this space, like MuleSoft, Oracle, Intel, Microsoft, and Dell Boomi. However, Azure Logic Apps is the easiest and most transparent in terms of its operations, licensing cost, and scaling. Being in Azure, the use of the Azure ecosystem becomes quite native with Logic Apps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."

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

"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."

"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."

"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."

"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."

"The platform is user-friendly."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"It's very easy to use, and it's blazing fast. The best thing about Logic Apps is actually its ability to create a solution in a matter of hours. It doesn't need any kind of provisioning, and you don't need any kind of hardware. You can create very small elements like these Logic Apps, and you can build a whole solution from those very simple and small elements. I also like that they are completely incorporated with your existing active directory. You can use user groups directly from the active directory inside Azure and access it from the Logic Apps. You don't need to do anything special, and you just have access. You can just check if the user is, for example, allowed to do some action. Normally it would take you some additional steps and some additional calls to check it. You have to come back to the active directory to make this possible. In Logic Apps, you just have it, and you can use it. I think that there's this concept of logging and recall to the Logic App. It shows you every single step, every single product, and the result it's returning to the next step. It also has an amazing debugging feature. You can rerun some calls and see if, after a correction of the Logic App, for example, you get the correct results. So, it's almost like it's alive. It's like you make a change, poof it, and it's in production, and it's working. The speed of the composition of the problem and creating a real solution for it is extremely fast with this solution. It's extremely fast in creation."

"The Logic App's designer is one of the vital features"

"Logic Apps is good for helping us run our access on a cloud environment like Azure. It's much easier, more reliable, and better to maintain."

"The solution is very easy for new users because it includes very good documentation and transparency."

"Logic Apps is valuable because my team uses it for integrating SaaS tool sets."

"We mainly used it to integrate SAP, ServiceNow, and different third-party APIs with the front end."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."

"Logic Apps helped reduce complexity or development time. For example, if we get documents in the form of images, we can use Logic Apps to extract information from those images. This simplifies our efforts compared to originally using Microsoft APIs to do the same task."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pros

Cons

"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."

"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."

"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."

"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."

"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."

"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."

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

"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"The stability of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is stable. However, we have had some issues in the past. They do resolve issues that arise from new releases."

"Additionally, enhancing scalability features, such as implementing queuing mechanisms for high-concurrency scenarios, would greatly improve its utility."

"An area of improvement I've encountered is related to the number of connectors available in Logic Apps. While there are many connectors, I found that the "send email" connector may not work as expected, and one has to rely on Office 365 plugins or other alternatives. This could enhance user experience, especially when considering the additional overhead and licensing requirements associated with Office 365. It also needs to improve security features."

"A room for improvement in Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is that it's expensive. Every step is going to cost you money, so if someone is not doing the steps carefully, at the end of the day, it will cost a lot of money. Each time you execute a step, the cost will depend on how much you use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, and how many workflow steps you have. Each time a step needs to be executed, there'll be a cost added to your bill. If the developer isn't careful with how he uses the solution, this can blow up the cost. What I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is for the cost and security to be better."

"We wanted to use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, but we faced a timeout."

"Standard documents are fine, but in certain situations, when facing specific errors or issues, partners or consumers expect customized solutions rather than just links to existing documents."

"It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services."

"The OpenAI components in Logic Apps could be more understandable."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"It is an expensive platform."

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."

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

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

"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."

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

"Approximately 20k annually."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"It's a bit costly at the end of the day. It's difficult to calculate pricing, and that affects the business. That's one challenge."

"The product pricing aligns well with the value and capabilities offered by Azure services."

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

"The product is quite cheap."

"It's very cheap, but it comes with pluses and minuses. The positive thing is that it's very cheap, but on the other hand, it's extremely hard to tell how much it will cost. At the start of the project, it's almost impossible to tell how many times you will be calling some kind of Logic App function. You cannot state how much of the internet transfer you will use or how much data your will use."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is a little bit expensive, and that is why you use it only for certain types of scenarios."

"The price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is inexpensive."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."
