Flexible & Powerful / API, UX Issues
What do you like best about the product?
Boomi is a flexible and powerful solution for data integration. It has shown itself to be very stable once the processes have been created. There's a lot of versatility under the hood, it just sometimes takes a lot of work to figure out the right/best way to implement a given process. It was a more cost-effective option compared to some other solutions we examined.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the Boomi learning curve to be quite steep and the documentation (specifically examples of working processes) to be lacking. Basic integrations are straightforward, but complex processes require a lot of moving parts, some of them buried behind multiple layers of windows. As a developer, it is frustrating to spend 20 clicks on doing something that could be written in a couple lines of code. I was longing for a full-featured API to set up the processes and mapping in some sort of domain-specific language, but alas, none exists. I also feel like the UI could use some improvement. The process/connector browser, specifically, gets quite cumbersome when working with multiple projects and/or complex integrations. Having to manually switch over all the connectors over when moving to production seems overly painful. I'm constantly worried that something will be missed in a deep layer that will cause the integration to fail. Again, I'm just used to working with code and Boomi feels like coding via UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Two-way data integration with Salesforce and an external database. Other one-way integrations to support various systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Does what it advertises, but there may be other competitors that are worth a look.
Dell Boomi Review
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with cloud applications like salesforce.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not matured enough to integrate with ERP applications like SAP. We need to depend on work around solutions that makes difficult to integrate with SAP
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy integration with Salesforce.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Needs to built strong adapters like RFC Listener and also improvements needs to be done in the existing IDoc connectors.
We need to have strong mapping builder. The current mapping builder is not strong compared other middleware tools.
