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.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."
"The maturity of the product is significant."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
 

Cons

"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"Although Boomi iPaaS is top in the market, there might be room for improvement in the ETL aspect, which was recently integrated as another module. This aspect of Boomi iPaaS is not mature enough at the moment."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"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."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"It is an expensive platform."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The solution is highly-priced."
