Boomi vs Workato: Choose the right iPaaS Platform

On the surface, both Workato and Boomi are iPaaS platforms that help automate processes and manage data flow, but if you take a closer look, you’ll see that Workato has several key advantages over Boomi that can make a big difference in how you integrate and automate your organization. Here are five reasons why Workato has the upper hand vs Boomi.

The Difference Between Boomi and Workato

Security and Governance

Workato offers a more comprehensive suite of cloud-based security features compared to Boomi. We bring data masking, enterprise key management, and robust data security policies to the table, all features designed to give organizations a higher level of confidence in protecting sensitive information. Boomi, on the other hand, lacks many of these features by default, when they are critical for modern iPaaS solutions.

• Workato offers end-to-end data encryption, role-based access and data masking, ensuring a high level of data security and compliance.
• Features like hourly key generation, BYOK/EKM, and secrets management are available on Workato but not on Boomi.

Customer Support and Success

Workato prides itself on responsive and effective customer support. Our customers typically get support response within minutes. This level of customer satisfaction with Workato’s support team significantly outperforms Boomi according to G2. Other highlights include:

• A 95% user rating for Quality Support, compared to 86% for Boomi
• A 28% higher Net Promoter score.
• We have a 100/100 score in overall user satisfaction, far outperforming Boomi.

Ease of Use and Productivity

Workato’s platform is designed for high productivity with a simple, intuitive interface that allows for rapid iterations through collaboration between business and IT. Our approach, which uses recipes instead of code, allows for iterations on integrations and automations that in some cases bring 4x faster agile productivity than Boomi. Plus, when you use English rather than code, it makes the entire platform accessible to a wider range of users, including those without extensive coding expertise.

Scalability and Performance

Workato is best-in-class when it comes to scalability without compromising performance. Our cloud-native architecture scales elastically, without DevOps. We offer a single platform with access to a whole range of integration and automation tools, including APIM, ETL/ELT and RPA. This means low development costs and no need for expensive system integrators.

Boomi, on the other hand, provides primarily on-prem deployment, and their API platform is only available on-prem. Scaling requires the provisioning of new servers. The Boomi platform is less suitable for event-based workflow automations (IF/THEN) which limits their ability to offer a truly comprehensive single platform solution.

Innovation and Versatility

Workato focuses on innovating in the iPaaS and automation space, particularly in areas like workflow automation, bots, RPA, and AI/ML. Our extensive community library of pre-built connectors and adaptors allows for rapid integration with a multitude of applications and services, making it easier to create and manage complex integration workflows right out of the gate. 92% of our users go live in three months.

We’ve had 450 product releases in the past 12 months, including our recent AI@work launch. Our LLM has a robust library of over 700k public integrations to train it. Boomi’s platform just doesn’t have the depth of data.

Workato vs Boomi

When it comes to ease of use, scalability, innovation, and cost, the choice for Workato is clear. We offer better security features, faster time to value, and stronger integrations. Plus, right now we’re making it even easier to migrate from Boomi to Workato, with free onboarding and subsidized implementation from our experts.
