More Boomi iPaaS Pros →

"All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable.""The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process.""It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis.""It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources.""We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else."

Cons
"The product's UI could be more convenient.""We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience.""The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle.""There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market.""Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors.""The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities.""The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."

More Boomi iPaaS Cons →

"To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues.""Improvements could be made to mapping presentations.""The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point.""FME's price needs improvement for the African market.""FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
  • "They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
  • "The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
  • "This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
  • "The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
  • "When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
  • "The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "Approximately 20k annually."
  • More Boomi iPaaS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We used the standard licensing for our use of FME. The cost was approximately €15,000 annually. We always welcome less expensive solutions, if the solution could be less expensive it would be helpful."
  • "The product's price is reasonable."
  • "FME Server used to cost £10,000; now it can cost over £100,000."
