We performed a comparison between Boomi iPaaS and IBM InfoSphere DataStage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"We are mostly using transmission rules. It has a lot of functions and logic related to transmission. It is a user-friendly tool with in-built functions."
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"The best feature of IBM InfoSphere DataStage for me was that it was very much user-friendly. The solution didn't require that much raw coding because most of its features were drag and drop, plus it had a large number of functionalities."
"As a data integration platform, it is easy to use. It is quite robust and useful for volumetric analysis when you have huge volumes of data. We have tested it for up to ten million rows, and it is robust enough to process ten million rows internally with its parallel processing. Its error logging mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand than other data integration tools. The newer version of InfoSphere has the data catalog and IDC lineage. They are helpful in the easy traceability of columns and tables."
"Offers great flexibility."
"The ETL tools are probably the most valuable feature. It has an IBM tool, a friendly UI and it makes things more comfortable."
"The product is easy to deploy."
"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"There are three things that could improve - the cloud, monitoring and cloud integration. It's a solid product but not a modern one and of course it depends what you're looking for."
"The error messaging needs to be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see more integration with cloud technologies."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"The pricing should be lower."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. While building APIs, we had a lot of problems trying to get around it because it is not very user-friendly. We tried to get hold of API documentation, but the documentation is not very well thought out. It should be more structured and elaborate. In terms of additional features, I would like to see good reporting on performance and performance-tuning recommendations that can be based on AI. I would also like to see better data profiling information being reported on InfoSphere."
