What are the differences between Prismatic and Boomi?
Prismatic's embedded iPaaS is a purpose-built, cloud-native B2B SaaS integration platform best suited for SaaS teams that need to create everything from simple to highly complex integrations. It provides a first-class UX for non-devs (via the low-code designer) and devs (via code-native integrations).
Boomi's embedded iPaaS is a B2B SaaS integration platform built for companies needing internal integrations. The platform requires that you to use its proprietary development approach and connector framework. In addition, Boomi does not support full-on code-native development, substantially limiting how devs can solve more complicated integration scenarios.

Prismatic beautifully supports the model we wanted: technical support staff configure new instances of known integrations; software engineers get involved when there's something new; support staff can monitor what's happening day-to-day. Meanwhile, we can focus engineering cycles on adding value for our customers.
With Prismatic, we're able to deliver integrations in far less time while streamlining our engineering effort. Prismatic has given us the ability to more widely build integrations across our teams. It has also allowed our customer-facing teams to handle customer-specific deployment.
Prismatic has been a game-changer for our team. The platform's intuitive low-code builder, marketplace and robust monitoring capabilities allow us to deliver complex integrations faster and more reliably than ever before. Whether quickly wiring up an integration using pre-built components or developing custom logic, Prismatic gives us the flexibility we need.
We probably save 95% of engineering time, we've deployed far more integrations than we would have without Prismatic. Everyone gets it; everyone understands that we can integrate wherever we need to, and that's quite a powerful thing.
The speed to market, the development costs, the ease of usability, the variety of integrations, the ability to customize it, and then also make a seamless marketplace. It's the whole package. Prismatic has changed the game, certainly 100% for us.
We've been able to see a roughly 50% increase in new customer acquisition simply by that factor of reducing time on our maintenance. My development team can now focus on new integrations and new automations.
After evaluating numerous embedded iPaaS vendors, Prismatic emerged as the clear leader for scaling customer integrations. Their comprehensive toolset not only enables access to diverse data sources but empowers our customers to build, deploy, and manage their own integrations with confidence.
Prismatic has enabled FMX to be efficient, consistent, and reliable in our integrations with third party systems. Prismatic has quickly become the clear choice for all facets of our integration strategy, including the migration of current integrations from previous solutions. We are pleased to mention our partnership with Prismatic when discussing system integration with prospects, customers, and other solution providers.

Prismatic is purpose-built for B2B SaaS
Prismatic has been wholly focused on B2B SaaS integrations since it was founded. Everything the platform provides, from the low-code and code-native flexibility to ensuring that end-users have unparalleled access to detailed integration status info, has grown out of an understanding that building, deploying, and managing B2B SaaS integrations is fundamentally different than doing those same tasks for integrations that exist within the enterprise.
In comparison, Boomi's platform is built for the enterprise, with a toolset optimized for internal IT users. Boomi does not provide a code-native approach to building integrations, constraining your dev team with the low-code builder. And Boomi lacks many of the customer and integration management features that are essential for B2B Saas integration implementations.

Hear from Prismatic customers
Prismatic offers low-code and code-native development
Prismatic enables devs to use the same custom connector SDK that Prismatic uses internally to build connectors from your SaaS product to any app your customers use, regardless of their vertical.
Prismatic's code-native integration building experience is no less powerful. Devs can use their favorite IDEs with the code-native integrations SDK to build entire integrations in code.
Boomi relies on a low-code approach for building integrations. Users can work with an extensive library of app connectors to build integrations. And devs can build custom connectors with an SDK. However, Boomi does not support code-native development and the ability to add any needed code to a project.

User experience
Prismatic built its platform with users in mind – your team and your customers. This user focus is visible from the low-code integration designer and code-native integration experience to the configuration wizard and the alerting and monitoring functions.
In addition, Prismatic provides its embedded workflow designer so you can empower your customers to build integrations. You can focus on the integrations that have broad appeal across your customer base while ensuring that your customers still have the one-off, custom integrations that are uniquely important to them.
Boomi's platform has a UX optimized for IT personnel who build internal integrations rather than for external customer users.
Since Boomi is intended for one-off integrations within the enterprise, it lacks the tools and infrastructure needed to deliver productized, configurable, customer-facing integrations.
One example is that Boomi does not have a white-labeled marketplace for listing and activating customer integrations.
Pricing for Prismatic vs Boomi

GDPR compliance is required for companies doing business in Europe. HIPAA compliance covers the exchange of health-related data in the US. CJIS compliance is needed for companies doing public safety business with Federal, State, and Local governments. FedRAMP authorization allows cloud service providers to do business with the federal government in the US.
Wrapping up
Prismatic's embedded iPaaS is a purpose-built, cloud-native B2B SaaS integration platform best suited for SaaS teams that must create highly configurable, reusable integrations for the full range of real-world integration complexity.
Boomi's platform isn't the best choice for B2B SaaS companies because it is an enterprise iPaaS. This is underscored by the platform's lack of focus on UX for B2B SaaS admins and end users. In addition, the platform does not provide a code-native integration experience, forcing your teams to build everything with the low-code designer. However, Boomi does have a large number of connectors available to build integrations among common apps.
