Integrations made easy

  • October 20, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and ease of integrating with other systems
What do you dislike about the product?
Not too good when it comes to performance of the APIs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are integrating with multiple systems through DB connections, Netsuite, API management, HttpClient and are also exposing multiple APIs for the users to integrate with. It is so easy to add a new api.

Could be so much better

  • October 20, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SOCL queries returned as XML makes it fairly plug and play and easier to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Finding a changed component, when the project is very complex is virtually impossible.
Storing returned data 'in memory' is way more complex than it should be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Linking silo-ed applications.

ETL between disparate systems is useful.

Hosting Atoms on own infrastructure appears to be bad, very flaky, writing GBs of log files even when all endpoints are set to low latency.

Overall quite frustrating.

Good Product, with stable updates

  • October 20, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. Good UI features,
2. The updates are mostly stable(as per my experience for past 1 year).
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Some features of configuration can be optimized, i.e. the credentials from the environment can be sourced on connectors while executing in Test mode.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Integration with various application
2. Data sync.
3. EDI communication
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Although the support is active in community blog, would suggest to produce more documentation on EDI development

Boomi Product Review

  • October 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The easy to follow layout for building complex processes. Good support when things don't make sense. Flexibility to fallback on javascript or groovy if pre-defined shapes aren't doing enough. Good pre-built logging.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some error responses are hard to understand. No efforts made to upgrade QB SDK for a QB integration so you lose functionality with key fields like SKU and item types. No work around either as QB is really specific how you connect with it. I guess I should be glad they have an option to connect to QB at all.

But by and large, I've never had an integration that I could accomplish with Boomi. Every single integration I've done (about 100 different EDI messages to a wild array of systems) have all been made extremely efficient because of this tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting an extremely wide variety of different systems together within days rather than weeks. Having a ton of flexibility with mapping fields and updating processes to handle more or less within hours instead of days. Every EDI team I come across seems way less organized and their development times are always at least double. I didn't know a thing about EDI before I started working with this tool and now I feel like an absolute Pro, ready to dictate how an integration needs to go, rather than react to what a business may need. I can create extremely robust processes that send detailed messages as to why data might have failed a test. This makes for great communication between Vendor and Customer and ultimately helps planning and doing business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want the ability to build complex data integration but still have it be flexible and easy enough to use that multiple people can work on the same thing without confusing or breaking pre-existing work, then Boomi is the perfect product. You want reliable logging, easy troubleshooting, and good support then Boomi is for you.

A useful, but sometimes frustrating tool to assist with complex system integrations

  • October 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Boomi saves a lot of time when attempting to send or share data between multiple existing on-premise and cloud hosted applications. It's easy enough to get data from point A to point B with an acceptable amount of development effort. Also, Boomi makes it possible for non-developer types to create data integrations without too much learning or overhead.
What do you dislike about the product?
Boomi executions are slow and there seem to be issues with web server services process that only get executed occasionally being offline temporarily. Boomi is the typical enterprise solution to the common problem of too many applications. But instead of fixing that problem by refactoring code or consolidating applications, Boomi is a tool to use on top of everything and make all the legacy apps play (somewhat) nicely together.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have way too many applications. Instead of refactoring and consolidating, the powers that be have decided to use Boomi to make sure we keep using every one of our outdated applications for a long time to come.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Firstly, consider redesigning your architecture so that you don't need a path-tool like Boomi. If you absolutely can't spend the time or money to refactor, reconsider. Because Boomi still takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money. If you absolutely aren't allowed to change your in-house apps, then ya I suppose I'd recommend using Boomi to get your data back and forth. Or build something yourself if you're a competent developer, which I know you are ;)

Boomi Great if Your Not a Developer

  • October 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mapping objects to another objects are made very easy in boomi. All you need to do is drag a line from one name to another and your done. I do like that there are many connectors to choose from that allow you to quickly connect to different products without learning those products apis.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a developer I find this tool a hindrance.

Debugging is a nightmare as I am in the dark of what is happening in most of the steps.
Boomi goes quite a bit down on our dev boxes which causes lost time
I find also the documentation lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have many different system that need to share data between each other but with different names. We use boomi for it's mapping capabilities to map between these different objects and different systems(ie SalesForce)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can't afford developers, or your developers are lacking skills or you need something done quickly or you have very complex objects that you need to map then boomi is a product to use.

I've found it easy to use and intuitive, real time saver

  • October 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to develop complex integration processes with visual tools. The GUI really helps make sense of complex jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance problems and debugging can be more difficult due to abstraction from the lower layers...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Too many to list, we've done dozens of integrations between many different systems.

Integrations that work

  • October 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to schedule and track the completion statuses of our integrations. Ability to audit processes for success and failure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Licensing for ftp seems excessive when many of our connections are simple file dumps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation of EDI delivery and Invoice processing has save lots of manual work. The logging and documentation of these integrations has allowed for improved efficiencies and improved auditing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Review licensing of ftp connections.

Happy with Boomi

  • October 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
-I usually like the way that Boomi handles data granularity, making it very easy to scrub fields and make decisions based on individual records. On the downside to this, it takes more advanced knowledge of boomi to do something like count the number of records returned by a query, or to merge documents if you don't want granular processing
-Scheduling is easy and it's nice that it is done in atom management as opposed to within the feed itself: so that no code changes/deploys are necessary to change scheduling
-Nice GUI interface
-Process reporting when paired with document tracking allows for strong troubleshooting
What do you dislike about the product?
-It's not as intuitive as other tools, which makes training new staff slightly more challenging.
-There are not easy ways for code migration from one environment to another, and it's a lot of manual work to separate in-work versions as opposed to versions deployed to sandboxes/production/etc
-Love the ability to re-run documents in test mode, but don't like how you can't choose what version of code to test it against
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
-We are integrating our CRM systems with our product data. We send data to our marketing system from our Data warehouse, our DB2/MySQL databases, and from our instance of Salesforce.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend time evaluating whether you will use the Atom Cloud or local atoms, taking into account what kind of endpoints you want, what kind of alerts you'd like, and how much data you'll be sending on a monthly basis

Boomi made Integrations easy and robust

  • September 29, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Boomi initially attracted me with the ton of built in connectors which lowers the integration's complexity.
Process deployment and environment extensions are interesting.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are forced to limit the usage of connectors.
Limited built in mapping functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Iam working on integration cloud to cloud and cloud to on premise integrations.
