Top 5 Reasons to Migrate & Modernize From Informatica to Boomi
Cloud-Native, Modern ELT Architecture - Built for an AI Future
Modern data teams need tools built for the AI era. Boomi Data Integration was built from the ground up as a cloud-native, modern ELT approach, while Informatica is still trying to unbundle itself from the legacy of PowerCenter. As AI-driven use cases become the norm, organizations will need platforms purpose-built for agility, scalability, and intelligent automation to stay ahead. Boomi Data Integration is a future-focused platform, built for what’s next.
Ease of Use & Speed of Deployment
Boomi Data Integration is built to maximize ease of use without sacrificing on functionality and flexibility. Boomi Data Integration “Kits” provide complete, deployable workflows out of the box, including pipelines, models, and orchestration. Boomi helps teams ship custom-connectors faster with a GenAI-powered Data Connector Agent that builds custom API connectors simply by referencing API documentation – an approach that is 30x faster than traditional methods.
SQL-First Transformation Flexibility
Boomi gives you full control over pushdown transformations with a SQL-first approach. It aligns with how modern data teams work and supports CI/CD workflows, versioning, and portability. Informatica, meanwhile, still relies heavily on a clunky GUI for transformation logic, making it harder to maintain, test, or scale.
Transparent Pricing and Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Boomi’s modern user experience reduces labor costs by reducing the need for expensive and hard-to-find Informatica trained specialists. Plus, Boomi offers a clear pricing model tied to actual usage. It’s easy to predict and align to business value. Informatica’s IPU pricing is complex, opaque, and hard to manage.
Built for the Future: Agentic AI and Rapid Innovation
Boomi leads in delivering practical AI with agents purpose-built for core integration and automation use cases—along with centralized governance via Control Tower to manage and control agent behavior. This prevents agentic sprawl and ensures safe, effective adoption. Meanwhile, Informatica’s AI capabilities remain limited and create more fragmentation in your data and AI solutions.
