Boomi Review

PROS: I like how Boomi works hard in enhancing its UI. This is a critical aspect as the development tool is based on both the browser and cloud. Boomi shows how this is a big priority for them. So far, I'm making the most of their UI improvements. I love certain process can be branched out via custom scripting if its pre-installed functionality won't do.

CONS: In making a point on its UI enhancements, there are plenty of mouse clicks in terms of looking into components and making shape configurations. Thing is, some of these were already looked into. So it's too obvious that there's a backlog of improvements that needed to made by the Boomi developer team. I don't favour how a map has no way in being unit tested (on its own). If there happens to be a way to unit test the map, I feel development would be several times more effective.

PROS: Boomi cam be picked up easily. What's more, working with it is really easy. The ease of going through swift deployment, development and maintenance is impressive. The community is able to assist in known issues. Its point-and-click implementation of logic with options for plugging in code at any point in time is something in which a developer would prefer and what administrators would want to maintain. Boomi employees are extremely approachable in asking for feedback in improving their product.

CONS: There have been instances when you'd have to go around the bush just to accomplish a certain task. With user feedback, I'm confident Boomi will continue bringing out further enhancements. There's also a disconnect happening a lot between knowledge share. The Community can help to a certain extent. The platform's robustness hasn't been maximized fully.

PROS: I'd highly recommend this platform for those who are ineed of API management and data management. With Boomi, there are plethora of functionality for processin data easily. Its connectors makes it easy to link certain customers. The best part of it is the API managment where we're able to trigger processes that we're in need of. The community assists consultants and customers gain necessary knowledge.

CONS: Learning Boomi requires minimal resources. It'd be great if they have certain functionalities when dealing with high volume data. They've added specific tools such data filers. So data can be sorted and the process can easily be accomplished by the developer.

PROS: There are a number of great things with Dell Boomi that I love. I use it daily for work. Its capabilities along with consistent enhancements from the team led to a product that you think isn't satisfying with its present status, but still sticking to the needs and feedback from customers. When it comes to environment management between production and test, it was easily done via Boomi. Thus maintenance and development is a delight once you're able to set this all up in covering your needs.

CONS: There are some areas where I hoped they would really improve on. When it comes to custom scripting, making use of Groovy/JavaScript would be a great for syntax highlighting or features similar to help simplifiy development. At the same time, keeping low-risk syntax problems. The SOAP Connector has no support for NTLM/Kerberos authentication. This would leave you with only a single option: developing a branded connector.

PROS: It has the capacity to carry out intricate data transformation and other berth use cases. Support is quick to respond and has been extremely helpful. There have been instances where we faced mission breakdowns and support came to the resuce by sticking with us until we had everything figured out. The Revision History functionality has been outstanding especially when learning the platform for the very first time or are in dire need of extreme version control.

CONS: At times, even the simplest needs end up being highly complicated problems. It becomes a bit of a challenge when making and editing XML profiles. Thankfully, its Revision History is excellent. Connector management coud use some improvement. The same connector with varying IDs will fail to deploy if you reached your cap.

PROS: Its environment is highly intuitive. The web UI can immediately be utilized especially for those who have basic knowledge of app integration. Minimal learning curve. Web-based environments offers support for all phases. If you're in need of scription, you can make use of standard languages.

CONS: Its sizing and pricing entails strong emphasis with each customer during pre-sales. Some customers refused to be part of this, which could lead to problems in extracting reasonable market sizing for projects.

PROS: Plenty of highlights! Its product documentation is lucid. Great manual runtime engine configuration. Beginners in programming concepts of OOPS are able to get things done easily. The great thing here is that the product has finally been moved out of the box. My one and only choice to carrying out integration instances at a minimal time and in a simpler manner.

CONS: For customers, it can be expensive. But then again, for its price tag, it's worth the investment. In today's swift-paced IT world, Boomi needs to learn to adapt in deploying new authentication approaches as well as standard connectors. A majority of the things have been confirmed but tweaking stuff in JavaScript and Groovy editors will really make this product unique. At this time, it's only limited to supporting JavaScript and Groovy as pre-installed scripting languages.

PROS: What I favor most with Dell Boomi is its user-friendly canavas. Shapes are simple to select. The best thing with this software is its the drag-and-drop functionality. Process is simple to operate in test mode and results seen happen to be user-friendly. Users can easily comprehend with it.

CONS: The main thing that I don't favor with Dell Boomi is the groovy scripting being utilized in map shape as well as its data process shape. Its coding aspect is challenging to comprehend. A small change should be made in the scripting side coding, which should've been minimized. The doc offered should've been more detailed. At the same time, examples should be provided.

PROS: It's very user-friendly. Dell Boomi is made in such a manner for anyone to learn about it in a short period of time. The product's look and feel will have you look into it further, which in turn, can help you learn a lot of things. Debugging makes it possible for anyone to review every compoent in the middle of unit testing. Contents come pre-packed, which, in turn, boosts integration.

CONS: Its added components require implementation to reduce scripting use. Map functionality within the mapping have been of big help if map function can be called from the map function itself.

PROS: It can connect to just about anything. Once a connection is made, it now comes down to the efficiency and integration of the developer. Boomi literally looked into everything. Its UI is becoming more user-friendly. Plug-and-play is highly efficient.

CONS: Nothing significant here. Although there are some issues regarding scripting languages, specifically Java scripting and Groovy. Their data formats vary and Boomi feeds data formats in and out.

PROS: There's plenty to like with Dell Boomi. The one aspect I favor most is their team's quick response. We're able to offer suggestions which we felt were really needed. They'd look into them and start working on them right away. Since it's cloud-based, it can be remotely accessed anywhere.

CONS: There are some things that need to be noted. There's a certain scenario where huge data volumes required migration. We face numerous issues and without Boomi, we wouldn't succeed. The reason is that the memory set for a certain atom is needed to carry out a bigger volume. Another aspect is that it's not offering the basics in rolling back a certain transaction.
