Pros
Easy to use.Installed on cloud so very fast.Can handle large data sets easily,excellent tech support
Cons
Honestly So far I liked everything about this software however I suspect scalability can be an issue when it comes to implementing extremely complex integrations.Would love to see more connectors for example separate dedicated connector for SAP HANA so that we dont need to configure jdbc using jars.

We have implemented a few processes and web services using this product thus far. We have a large backlog of processes using other technology to move into Boomi environment.
Pros
Not much to manage in terms of the environment setup. i.e. the Java runtime aka "Atom" or "Molecule" (group of atoms) are managed for you. System upgrades are managed for you. The development area is all web based (e.g. via use of Chrome). Once you have past a bit of a learning curve, the approach is fairly straight forward and simple. Forum is responsive with people helping. Support tickets are addressed quickly.
Cons
Somewhat locked in to keep using the tool, once you start using Boomi. The process documentation is via screen prints into word documents. There isn't a way to export processes to keep a copy of process outside of the Boomi system. Performance of larger scale ETL (say half million data rows) might be worse by factor of three compared to other ETL tools. Development environment limits you to small tests (100 records/documents) .. Have to deploy to dev atom to test larger scale tests.

Pros
Extremely powerful with little to no mandatory coding. Essentially, you can get most of what you need through drag and drop to set up your processes
Cons
There are some UI/UX issues after you set up the process (launching, scheduling,reporting) that are a bit un-intuitive, but honestly it's not something that is critically wrong.

I find very interesting working with this tool which has complete security of the data everywhere and we can transfer the data from anywhere, can transform from one format to many formats. We add the thing to update manually, by lookups, properties, we can combine data and split the data according to our necessity.
I have been using Dell Boomi as an integration tool to integrate between various end points. The main part which makes it stand out from other tools is the ease with which we can do design and implementation.
It's very useful customer support tool , where we can search and post the queries and get the response from the users of the dell boomi. I have been using last few years for resolving my queries related to boomi . Thank you.
I used Dell Boomi to develop some interfaces for a customer project and I found it very smart and easy to understand. I think that it could be even better with the addition of some other features like the Reset Find Changes shape or the DISTINCT operand retrieved from the cache but I can say that my experience with Boomi was definitely good
Boomi is an excellent interface between systems. In some cases, we even use it as an interface to just one system, because it's easier to develop and maintain processes in Boomi than in the system we are interfacing to. So far the only limits have been the number of connections, which you can increase if you don't mind paying more, and the hardware on the atom, which can do surprising amounts of work even with just 2 GB ram allocated to the atom.
Boomi is exceptional when you need to integrate disparate systems in a comprehensive way. It is also very good when you have a lot of data that is synced overnight (not real time). It allows you to handle a lot of data, schedule it for when you need it to run, and alert you if there are any problems. It might not be a perfect fit if your integration needs to be real time, although the APIs do exist to allow this to be done if needed. I was successful in implementing B2G and B2B integration with ease and less security prone activities. Salesforce, NetSuite, SAP, SuccessFactors, SugarCRM, Workday, oDATA, Microsoft Dynamics etc are some of systems to which I had developed successful integration.
This has been one of the best investments we have made. We are a low code/no code shop and it has allowed us to create a data warehouse from multiple data sources. I highly recommend the Boomi certification class, but the help from the service desk was great too. We plan to add more connections as we continue to grow.
