Dell Boomi vs. Breadwinner
Dell Boomi and Breadwinner are fundamentally different products. Dell Boomi is an ETL designed to connect to virtually any platform or database, but the mapping, configuration, and data integrity are entirely up to you. Breadwinner is a point-to-point solution that connects Salesforce to NetSuite, and the mapping is already done, the configuration is minimal, and data integrity is the responsibility of Breadwinner.
Architecture and Syncing
Breadwinner
Recommended- Resides inside Salesforce with dozens of objects that are replicas of standard NetSuite objects, plus VisualForce and Lightning pages
- Everything comes pre-configured and out-of-the-box
- Pushes to NetSuite instantly via UI Wizard or Salesforce triggers, reflected back immediately
- Checks NetSuite for new or modified data every 15 minutes
- Runs a hard-refresh of all NetSuite data over the weekend for data integrity
- Data integrity is Breadwinner's responsibility
Dell Boomi
- — Resides outside of Salesforce — does not include any objects, tabs, classes, or Lightning components
- — Nothing comes out-of-the-box or pre-configured
- — Pushes data on a schedule (typically hourly), only through triggered processes
- — Syncs from NetSuite on a schedule set by you
- — No automatic data integrity checks
- — Data integrity is your responsibility
Deep Data Replication
Breadwinner brings in comprehensive data at every level. Here's an example of the depth of data we bring in on a Sales Order:
- Invoices Created from this Sales Order
- Item Fulfillments created from this Sales Order (and Packages from Fulfillments)
- RMAs issued related to this Sales Order (Credit Memos associated with the RMA)
What a Salesforce Consultant Will Need to Do
With Dell Boomi
For an experienced Salesforce Admin or Developer, the learning curve of Dell Boomi is quite high. While there are some limited templates, ultimately, all of the mapping and configuration will have to be created based on customer requirements. The flexibility is high, but that flexibility comes at an enormous cost.
It's your responsibility to design, create, run, and maintain the data import process.
With Breadwinner
Breadwinner takes the opposite approach. We presume you are not experts on NetSuite, and that you just want a solution that works.
The import progress of all NetSuite data is clearly shown. If something doesn't import, for any reason, you can file a case with Breadwinner and we'll look into it. With Boomi, it's your responsibility to design, create, run, and maintain the data import process.
Time to Demonstration
Breadwinner
~1 dayWe will walk you through the 30-minute installation and setup process in an empty or full Salesforce Sandbox. We'll help you securely and safely connect to NetSuite (sandbox or production), and ensure that the data is flowing into Salesforce.
For larger companies, this data import can take a night, so we'll follow up the next day and configure dry-run creation of either an Estimate or a Sales Order in NetSuite from your standard or custom Salesforce Objects.
In short, you'll be able to demonstrate Breadwinner for NetSuite within a day of starting and less than two hours of your time.
Dell Boomi
1-2 monthsWith Dell Boomi, you'll be lucky if you even cover your scoping requirements in two hours. Most likely, you'll spend that time arranging all the meetings you'll need to configure everything while discussing support contracts and additional Boomi consultants who might be needed.
And without a spending budget, you won't even be able to show anything. Showing your users a simple invoice page will require 1-2 months of development.
