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 like the tool's optimization feature."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"The solution's scalability is really good...we are using multi-instance jobs where you can scale them easily."
"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."
"IBM is stable and accurate to monitor. It's easy to understand to monitor the data lineage from source to target."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to incorporate very complex business rules in Data Stage."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."

"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"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."

"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"Their web interface is good but the on-prem sites are outdated. The solution could also be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part of their interface."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"Working with some of the big data components is good, but I can see improvements are needed."
"The interface needs improvement."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"It takes a lot of time to actually trigger your job and then go into the logs and other stuff. So all of this is really time-consuming."
