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.

Robust and does a good job of handling overload conditions

We purchase an add-on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update, and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package. I believe there are ways to build a model and set variables so that it can be a generic process. In my next system, I would like to have a generic process that would handle all the logging and processing in a model that can be modified and enhanced as the need for a better process, or different statistics to be logged is discovered. I'd want this in a way that the model can be changed and all the processes, with their unique parameters, could all be changed with the model upgraded. I believe they should add some features that help to create the code using a model. This would allow for continuous improvement of the model uses and easy replication of all the different programs that use the model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."

"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."

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

"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."

"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."

"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."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."

"The UI is very user-friendly."

"It's already very user-friendly and has a good dashboard."

"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."

"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."

"It has good data integration and good processes."

"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."

"Data Flows are the main component we use. These can range from a simple source to sink ETL, to many source to many sink dataflows."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"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."

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

"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."

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

"There should be more scripting possibilities."

"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."

"There are stability issues."

"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."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."

"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."

"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."

"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."

"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."

"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."

"Integration and the user interface are areas with certain shortcomings that require some improvements."

"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive platform."

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

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight 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)."

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

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."

"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."

"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."

"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."

"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

"The solution comes free of cost."
