Fairly easy for a semi-technical user to configure and maintain it and is very visual
Boomi consists of several modules, and the API is one product that Boomi is definitely not up to par with. For example, Jitterbit has a better API management module. However, Dell is putting a lot of energy to make changes. There is a new release already now in December or in November (2019), and they're planning some more releases in 2020. But I would say if there is one module that Boomi is less advanced in than the competition it would be the API management. But it might be totally different mid-2020. Another point that could use improvement for Boomi is license pricing. If you don't know the pricing model very well, you might quickly end up paying more than you expected especially if you are growing and adding integrations. Again, it is different than the competition so it may be difficult to compare, but the pricing model could also clearly be simplified.

Useful for asynchronous messaging, but it lacks features, and the storage is limited
The solution is used in many projects. I'm an IT consultant. I use the tool when there's a need for asynchronous messaging It is a nice product to expand the functionality of our event-driven architecture. The use of ACK is valuable. I can leave a message through the code and take advantage of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
 

Cons

"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"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."
"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."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"The tool requires programming language."
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Approximately 20k annually."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"It is an expensive platform."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"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 expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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 of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"The solution has a high price."
"The tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."
"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"
