Stable product, suitable for limited integrations and lacks flexibility
Every product has its pros and cons. Boomi has some drawbacks, but it's generally okay. It could be better in terms of features, flexibility, and especially storage. We have issues there. In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process. Other products like TIBCO or IBM have simpler transaction tracking by ID. In Boomi, it's much more time-consuming. We need to go through each and every timestamp and identify the transaction details. It is a pain point for us. We use Boomi only for process execution. We used it for API and APM but switched to Azure APM. The low latency mode is another pain point. General mode consumes a lot of resources, but to have adequate logging information, we need to deploy in general mode. Whereas low latency gives very good throughput and good performance, but we are losing a lot of important information. So these are the some of the aspects.

Highly scalable solution that fulfils the need for connectivity mediation
I primarily use Process Orchestration for integration Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity. Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
 

Cons

"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"There are still some areas that need improvement. For example, when updates are going on, the product becomes very slow."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"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."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"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)."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"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 a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"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 fee for maintenance is costly."
