Eugene Paden - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has been a stable product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"Boomi iPaaS has significantly impacted our ROI. We have automated complete order-to-cash processes for multiple customers, saving over 90 million dollars."
"I like the tool's optimization feature."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"Stability feels fine."
 

Cons

"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"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 gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"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"
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It is an expensive platform."
"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."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"It is an open-source product."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
