Features: Boomi iPaaS is praised for its comprehensive set of pre-built connectors, the ease of creating complex workflows, and its simpler interface for quick deployment. SAP Cloud Platform stands out with its extensive integration capabilities across various SAP and third-party applications, providing a seamless experience for enterprise environments, and a broad feature set for extensive enterprise applications.

Room for Improvement: Boomi users often mention the need for enhanced documentation, more sophisticated debugging tools, and focus on refining its troubleshooting processes. SAP Cloud Platform users report that the interface could be more intuitive, the learning curve steep, with suggestions to simplify its interface and improve user guidance.

Exceptional drag-and-drop integration module

It would be great to have more assistance and credit services for additional features. For instance, virtual class initials are available but not for backend processing moves. Making that more visible, like other Azure products, would be helpful. Moreover, the documentation is good, but it could be improved. It is changing every day, and I sometimes find that it's not updated enough or some code levels are not included.

Provides seamless integration with CTI for streamlined data synchronization but complexity and challenges in migrating existing applications to the low-code model for custom application development

The main area that requires improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform, specifically within BTP, is cost management and application stability. We also face challenges with load balancing and other related issues. Currently, we leverage the review of business applications and data usage within our organization. CTI has proven to be an excellent choice for integration, making it seamless and reducing the complexity of various integration scenarios. However, the major area that needs improvement is the development model for custom applications on BTP. SAP has introduced a low-code model that enables application development with less coding and more focus on data and visual building. However, migrating existing applications from traditional coding methods, such as HTML or other programming languages, to the low-code model is not straightforward. It is time-consuming and involves reviewing the application model, which may discourage businesses from investing in this transition. Additionally, there are various requirements and layouts that need to be considered, which further complicates the process. Many businesses are hesitant to invest in this area as it involves significant effort and may result in data loss, especially when personnel change within the organization before requirements are provided. It's an area that requires attention. It becomes challenging for developers to understand the business logic and requirements, making it difficult for the team to work on application migration and transition. Moreover, SAP has released a publication regarding the migration to VMware Cloud, and compatibility issues have arisen. This affects the seamless migration that SAP promotes, as there are thousands of objects that are not compatible with NetCloud. These objects are critical to the business, and without them, the transition cannot be successful. Technical complexities and the difficulty of migrating one application to another create significant obstacles. Businesses lose interest in such migrations due to the time and technicality involved. While the technical team understands the complexities, the business side is primarily concerned with using new features and staying up-to-date. This discrepancy becomes a major bottleneck, making the transition from one location to another extremely complex.

More SAP Cloud Platform pros

Cons

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

"There should be more scripting possibilities."

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

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

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

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."

"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."

"The tool's reliability is a disappointment for us."

"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."

"Better connectivity to on-premise systems would help us to support older systems that are migrating to the cloud."

"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."

"I'd like to see more local integration."

"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

More SAP Cloud Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."

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

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

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

"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"

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution depends on the package that is purchased. There are many packages to choose from. The packages are not overly expensive."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a six or seven."

"SAP provides good discounts."

"SAP Cloud Platform Integration is an expensive product. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"The solution is worth the money."

"SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."

"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."

"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
