Etlworks vs. Boomi
Enterprise-Grade Integration Made Simpler — and More Affordable
Two Capable Platforms, Two Very Different Experiences
Etlworks and Boomi both deliver powerful tools for ETL, data sync, API management, and B2B/EDI integration. While both excel in API integration and management, Etlworks provides a broader set of built-in capabilities, faster ramp-up, and more flexible pricing — helping teams move faster with less overhead.
Why Etlworks Stands Out
Full-Scale Integration Without the High Price
Etlworks offers complete ETL, CDC, streaming, API management, and B2B integration starting at $300 per month — compared to Boomi’s typical starting point of $1,000+ per month. Get everything you need to build and scale integrations, without enterprise-level costs.
Powerful API Management, Matched
Boomi is recognized for strong API management capabilities — and Etlworks matches that strength with full API lifecycle support, API-first design, and seamless integration with both cloud and on-premise systems. You don’t lose API power by choosing Etlworks — you gain flexibility across all data flows.
Simpler Learning Curve, Faster Value
Etlworks is designed for rapid onboarding, with intuitive UI and no-code/low-code options accessible to users with low to intermediate skills. Boomi, while powerful, often requires a steeper learning curve and deeper technical expertise to unlock its full potential.
Broader Traditional Integration Built-In
Etlworks excels at traditional ETL, ELT, reverse ETL, CDC, wildcard file and object processing — capabilities that are essential for real-world data operations. With Etlworks, you get more comprehensive core integration features without needing custom development or additional modules.
Modern Data Integration With No Compromises
Both Etlworks and Boomi deliver strong solutions for API management and enterprise integration. But Etlworks goes further — offering broader data integration capabilities, faster ramp-up, greater flexibility, and lower total cost of ownership. Move faster, integrate smarter, and scale with confidence.
