+ Common indirect costs associated with additional of third-party orchestration tools

Connect to any API source
Yes – Data Connector Agent builds from API docs; optional YAML customization; no code required.

Yes

Built-in Workflow Orchestration

Yes – native orchestration for complex pipelines

Including dependencies, branching, loops, API triggers, and retry handling.

SAP Data
Easy to use SAP dedicated interface to seamlessly extract all of your SAP data.

Limited control over SAP data to replicate and access to different SAP assets like functions.

Database Replication
Full table and incremental via log based CDC or standard SQL extraction; or custom SQL where needed.

Full table and incremental via change data capture or limited teleport snapshot dependent on a primary key.

AI / Agentic Context
RAG Pipelines
Fully managed, no-code RAG pipelines – from data ingestion and chunking through vector storage and agent retrieval.

Warehouse-centric RAG: AI context and retrieval built around the customer’s warehouse/lakehouse, with agent lifecycle management handled by third-party platforms.

Semantic Intelligence
Unifies business and technical teams around trusted context and shared data reliability, through expert-endorsed glossaries, no-code validations, and code-based tests linked to data assets and AI agents.

Greater reliance on technical data teams to define and maintain semantic context. Also requires external platforms for AI agent lifecycle management.

Data Quality & Trust
Master Data Management (MDM)
Native MDM for trusted golden records, with matching, deduplication, survivorship, and bidirectional sync.

No Native MDM: Requires external tools for golden records, matching, and survivorship.

Data Quality & Observability
Dedicated data quality & observability with autonomous data health and agent context monitoring, AI-assisted troubleshooting, and traceability.

Limited, require specialized tooling for advanced, autonomous data quality monitoring and end-to-end observability.

AI Agents
Agent Lifecycle Management
Built-in AI Agent Management including the ability to create and govern agents

No native agent lifecycle management platform.

Scope
Platform Breadth
Fully unified with the Boomi platform (ELT, iPaaS, MDM, data governance, APIM, AI Agents, and more).

Specialized data movement and ELT platform. Lacking agent lifecycle management, iPaaS, and MDM.

End-to-End ELT and AI Agent Activation

In the agentic era, the modern data stack goes beyond dashboards to include AI activation using trusted data.

While Fivetran requires users to stitch together separate tools for orchestration and agent management, Boomi unifies the entire lifecycle on one platform - simplifying the process for fueling AI agents with clean, trusted data.
