Boomi made Integration Easy
Boomi is the first-mover pure player Integration platform
Great professional services team, support offerings lack a bit in the end user experience realm
All of the professional services team members I've ever worked with are truly phenomenal. Specifically Rahul Panicker and Brian Brinley. Tremendous drive to solve problems, subject matter experts not only in Boomi runtime but also AWS. Pleasant, responsive, knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things. We had trouble getting sufficient answers to our questions from Boomi support, and for our business, we really need the technical architect skillset to unblock us from time to time, and to also help us scale up/out as needed.
Boomi IPAAS Tool
Easy to use
Lot of out of box connectors
User friendly reporting or process properties
Easy to build both A2A Application Integration and Business to Business Integration
Trainings are available on the Platform for free
Easy to adopte the technology
Boomi is a great iPaaS platform and it will meet most organizations integration needs
Reduced implementation time significant
Made integration logic easier to find and understand, as it is not hidden in code somewhere
High reusability, as we have implemented all integrations following a similar structure
Lots of standard connectors, so you don't have to create the connection to a standard system.
Good overview in the platform and easy tools to check processes and configuration
You need to build design framework for your integrations, as there is a lot of different ways to go about creating the integration.
Errorhandling should also follow a framework, so that the different types of error are caught the right way and information is sent to the right people. Technical error are send to IT and data errors are sent to the right business unit.
I really recommend finding some experts in boomi to get started the right way. Otherwise you could end up with very complex integrations for no reason.

Reliable Platfrom
Stable product, suitable for limited integrations and lacks flexibility
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using it for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It has been a stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is another challenge for us. It is not scalable, not for our architecture and implementation setup. It hasn't been scalable for us.
It's used across multiple countries, so there are quite a few end users using this in our company.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is good, albeit a bit expensive. We used to have professional services but now manage it internally with other vendors.
Support is actually very good. Response speed depends. Only for P1 and high-priority cases do you get quick responses. Otherwise, we need to chase them for P2, P3, or P4. We might wait a while for traction. But knowledge-wise, support is good. They have good people with good knowledge.
So, I would rate it a seven out of ten for knowledge and support, but perhaps a lower score for response speed on lower-priority cases.
Unless we go with professional services, it's expensive. Regular support is okay, though.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high. Maybe Boomi is making changes recently, planning to triple the prices. That's a significant increase, and that's not gonna work at all for us.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We are planning to switch from Boomi. We are looking at Azure Logic App and Software AG. We're just exploring and have a year before making a decision.
What other advice do I have?
For Boomi, if your integration scope and work are limited, you can go with it. But for complex landscapes with multiple systems and close transaction monitoring, especially in finance or insurance, then you should look for more futuristic tools.
We've worked with many integration tools. For Boomi specifically, I'd rate it a six out of ten.
