Subhajit Bhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rohit Sircar - PeerSpot reviewer
Great automation and strong workflows useful for integration
The initial setup is quite straightforward. When connecting Workato with your on-premises system, you have to install the Workato agent on your network. It was not complex but a long process to configure and settle. Workato has not gone live for us yet, so only the developers are currently using it. But in terms of users, we will have close to 250 and maybe 30 additional direct users. We are seeing a lot of different use cases where we can add new recipes because we started small, and there are many different areas where we can implement Workato for automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"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."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"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 management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"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."
"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"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"
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
"Workato is an expensive solution."
