  • Not built for system-to-system data integration or EDI/B2B exchange
  • Requires processes that involve people - pure automation needs different tools
  • Not designed for high-frequency API management

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Boomi and what is it used for?

Boomi is an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that connects different software applications. It was founded in 2000, acquired by Dell in 2010 for an undisclosed amount, then sold to private equity firms Francisco Partners and TPG in 2021 for $4 billion. Boomi excels at moving data between systems - but here's the thing: it doesn't track human work. When you need someone to review something, approve a request, or follow up on a task, that's where middleware falls short. See how Tallyfy handles the human side that integration platforms miss.

Why don't I need middleware like Boomi anymore?

The integration landscape has shifted dramatically. AI tools like Claude and GPT can now generate custom integration code in minutes. Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides standardized ways for AI to connect systems without traditional connectors. For most companies, paying hundreds of thousands annually for connector-based pricing doesn't make sense when AI can write the same integrations. What AI can't do is track human workflows - that's where Tallyfy's process tracking comes in.

How much does Boomi actually cost?

Boomi's pricing isn't transparent - you have to talk to sales. But here's what users report: the basic plan starts around $549/month, mid-sized companies typically spend $25K-$75K/year, and enterprise deployments can run much higher. The real killer? Connector costs. Every endpoint can add $300/month. Users report 50-100% price increases at renewal after the 2025 pricing changes. Check Tallyfy's transparent pricing - no surprises.

What are the common problems with Boomi?

Users consistently report: expensive and unpredictable pricing that scales poorly, complex Atom runtime management requiring IT expertise, performance bottlenecks with high-volume workloads, a steep learning curve for advanced features and Groovy scripting, limited built-in monitoring and debugging capabilities, and support that can be slow for complex issues. One former employee called it 'a sinking ship' with 'very little product innovation.' See how simple Tallyfy actually is.

What is a Boomi Atom and why does it matter?

A Boomi Atom is the runtime component that executes your integrations. You can run it in Boomi's cloud or on-premise. The catch? Atoms need management - restarts, updates, monitoring. They automatically restart during Boomi platform releases, potentially disrupting your integrations. Users report occasional stability issues and performance slowdowns during update windows. It's infrastructure you have to think about. Tallyfy? Zero infrastructure to manage.

Does Boomi have a discount for different countries?

No, Boomi doesn't adjust pricing based on local economic conditions. Their enterprise pricing model treats all markets the same - which can be painfully expensive for teams outside wealthy economies. Tallyfy offers GDP-based discounts through our Fair Price Guarantee, making it accessible worldwide based on your country's economic conditions.

Is Boomi owned by private equity?

Yes. Dell sold Boomi to Francisco Partners and TPG Capital in 2021 for $4 billion. Private equity ownership typically means pressure for revenue growth and cost optimization - which often translates to price increases and reduced investment in product development. One insider described 'very little product innovation' under this model. Tallyfy is independently owned and focused purely on what our users need. Learn about our approach.

Can Boomi handle B2B EDI integrations?

Yes, Boomi has B2B EDI capabilities supporting standards like X12, EDIFACT, HL7, and AS2 protocol. It's actually one of their stronger areas. But EDI integration is complex, technical work requiring dedicated expertise. If your main need is tracking human workflows, approvals, and task handoffs - not pure system-to-system data exchange - Boomi is overkill. Tallyfy's smart forms capture information without the enterprise middleware complexity.

How does Tallyfy compare to Boomi for tracking work?

They solve completely different problems. Boomi moves data between applications - it has no concept of human tasks, approvals, or workflow visibility. Tallyfy tracks work done by people: who needs to do what, when it's due, what's blocking progress. If your challenge is 'I can't see where things stand across my team' rather than 'I need to sync Salesforce with NetSuite,' you want workflow tracking, not middleware. See real-time tracking in action.

What integrations does Tallyfy offer instead of middleware?

Tallyfy takes a different approach. Instead of building thousands of expensive connectors, we integrate via webhooks, API, and middleware platforms like Zapier and Power Automate that your team probably already uses. For complex integrations, AI tools can now generate custom code faster than configuring traditional iPaaS connectors. You get flexibility without connector-based pricing traps.

Does Tallyfy offer free Single Sign On?

Yes, Tallyfy includes SSO at no extra cost. Boomi's support structure requires additional fees for premium support tiers, and SSO configuration can be complex within their enterprise model. Explore Tallyfy's SSO options included with standard pricing.

How do I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?

Check our customer reviews page for authentic testimonials from real users. Unlike enterprise middleware vendors who often rely on analyst reports, our customers share genuine experiences about how Tallyfy transformed their workflow management. Learn about real-time status tracking that customers consistently praise.

What if I already use Boomi and want to switch?

Here's the honest truth: you probably don't need to replace Boomi entirely. If it's moving data between your systems effectively, keep it for that purpose. Where Tallyfy comes in is tracking the human workflows that Boomi doesn't touch - onboarding processes, approval chains, operational procedures. Many organizations use both. Book a chat to discuss your specific situation.

Is Tallyfy secure and compliant for enterprise use?

Yes. Tallyfy is compliant with HSTS and BIMI security standards, offers full audit trails, and supports enterprise requirements. Unlike some integration platforms where security features cost extra, Tallyfy's compliance features are included. We're built for teams that need to demonstrate process compliance without enterprise middleware complexity.
