Predictable pricing

Boomi's pricing scales with connections, environments and data volume, which makes costs hard to forecast and prone to escalation clauses at renewal. CloverDX licenses by server cores and Designer seats. As pipelines and usage grow, the bill doesn't.

No low-code ceiling

Boomi's core platform is built for straightforward integration work. Once transformation logic gets serious, heavy aggregation, CDC, or performance-critical pipelines, it can hit a ceiling that pushes teams toward external scripting, or toward Boomi's separately-priced Rivery acquisition for CDC specifically. CloverDX handles complex ETL, aggregations and CDC natively in one platform, with the choice to code when precision matters and use visual tools when speed does.

Deploy on your terms

Boomi is cloud-native by design, which works well if your infrastructure is entirely cloud-based, but is a real constraint for teams under data residency or compliance requirements. CloverDX supports on-premise, cloud and hybrid deployment with full container support, so regulated industries aren't forced into a cloud-only architecture.

Errors don't stop the whole job

Boomi's batch processing can behave all-or-nothing: one bad record can bring down an entire run. CloverDX handles errors at the record level, with configurable rejection routes, so a single bad row doesn't stop the rest of the job.

Support and ownership

Boomi support runs through a tiered queue, and Boomi has been PE-owned since 2021, which can bring commercial pressure on pricing over time. CloverDX subscriptions include direct access to CloverDX experts and professional services hours from day one, and CloverDX is independently owned, with no PE-driven pressure on pricing strategy.

AI on your own terms

Boomi's AI agents support bringing your own model, but Boomi's own usage is metered, with a per-message fee on top of whatever you already pay your model provider. CloverDX's AI capabilities are BYOK or BYOM, licensed per user rather than per message, and with BYOM your data never leaves your own environment.

Built for complex enterprise data requirements

Migrating off a platform
you've outgrown

Moving from Boomi's proprietary runtime doesn't mean starting from scratch. CloverDX's repeatable migration framework handles complex, large-scale data migrations, cloud, on-premise or hybrid, without re-engineering everything by hand.

High-volume batch ETL Boomi wasn't built for

Where Boomi's low-code model reaches its ceiling, CloverDX handles heavy aggregation, CDC and performance-critical pipelines natively, with record-level error handling that keeps one bad row from stopping an entire run.

Regulated data that can't leave your infrastructure

For finance, healthcare and government teams working under data residency requirements, CloverDX's on-premise and hybrid deployment keeps sensitive data inside infrastructure you control, no mandatory routing through a vendor's cloud.

Business users and engineering, in the same pipeline

CloverDX lets business experts review, correct and approve data using Wrangler Assistant and other self-service tools, inside pipelines engineering still owns and controls.

Why Enterprise Data Teams Choose CloverDX

How Zywave Used CloverDX to Take Engineers Out of the Onboarding Bottleneck

Zywave's customer data onboarding relied on hand-coded, one-to-one integrations that weren't monitored or controlled by IT, the kind of workaround a low-code ceiling can push teams toward. CloverDX replaced the final steps of that process with automated, IT-owned workflows engineers can trust to run themselves.

Result: Engineer time per customer conversion cut by 20-33%

"One-to-one integrations between applications aren't feasible for us. It's not monitored, and if something happens it's not controlled by the IT team. So one of my goals is to make sure that CloverDX is in the middle of all those integrations."

— Bryan Kahlig, Senior Director, Product Development, Zywave

How Sisk Fulfillment Service Used CloverDX to Stop Errors Before They Cost a Shipment

Sisk processes around 4.5 million shipments a year for dozens of clients, and used to lose hours to manual file processing and a support queue that took weeks to answer a ticket. CloverDX's automated error handling catches and corrects problems without stopping the job, backed by direct access to CloverDX's own engineers rather than a tiered queue.

Result: 4.5 million shipments processed a year, zero late nights required

"Companies will always tell you they have great support, and then you buy the software and find out that's not the case, you put in a ticket and it takes three weeks to get an answer. With CloverDX I get answers right away."

— Nick Liles, IT Manager, Sisk Fulfillment Service

Already using Boomi?

Switching platforms is real work, and we won't pretend otherwise. Existing Boomi processes, connectors and orchestration logic don't transfer automatically, since Boomi's jobs and mappings are built inside a proprietary runtime. What CloverDX can do is make the move manageable: a repeatable migration framework, professional services hours included from day one, and the option to run CloverDX alongside Boomi in parallel while you test and cut over at your own pace, not on a vendor's timeline.

Why choose CloverDX
as your Boomi alternative?

CloverDX is built for data teams that need:

  • Predictable, capacity-based pricing that doesn't move with your data volume
  • Deployment on your own terms, on-premise, cloud or hybrid
  • Complex ETL, aggregation and CDC handled natively, no scripting workarounds required
  • Record-level error handling, so one bad row doesn't take down a job
  • Direct access to CloverDX experts, backed by an independently owned company

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions that you might have about how Flight Centre Corporate uses CloverDX. If you don’t see your question here - just get in touch.

No, CloverDX doesn't store your or your customer's data. Additionally, we also don't send it anywhere without your knowledge.

Because CloverDX isn't SaaS, and is deployed completely in your infrastructure, your data is always completely under your control.

Yes. We’re here to help you get results with CloverDX from day one. Whether you're just starting a trial or already a customer, our in-house team of experts is ready to support you every step of the way. Just get in touch to learn how we can help you.

Yes - you deploy CloverDX in your own infrastructure, wherever you want - whether that's in cloud or on-premise.

And CloverDX is completely platform-agnostic, so no matter where you deploy it, you can seamlessly connect to, and move data between, any on-premise and/or cloud locations.

CloverDX is designed to be lightweight and to fit in with your existing infrastructure. The capacity you'll need depends on your use case - we're more than happy to chat to help you establish your requirements.

Unlike some other data tools, CloverDX isn't priced by data volume. Instead it's priced based on the number of users and the server capacity you need. 

We believe this helps you get predictable pricing that doesn't penalize you just because your data volumes are growing. And because CloverDX is self-hosted, you're always in control of your infrastructure costs, whether cloud-based, hybrid, or on-premise.

If you want a detailed pricing estimate based on your use case and requirements, just contact us and we can give you a more specific quote.

CloverDX provides a suite of no-code tools that empower business users to work with data without relying on developers. For example CloverDX Wrangler lets users clean, map, and validate data using a drag-and-drop, spreadsheet-like interface. Whilst the CloverDX Data Catalog tool helps teams find, understand, and trust the data they use. And within the CloverDX Data Manager, non-technical users can run, monitor, and manage data jobs with zero to minimal coding required.

Non-technical users typically get started with CloverDX Business Tools in a few days. However, the exact timeline can vary based on your business size and the complexity of your data infrastructure.

CloverDX vs Boomi FAQs

iPaaS platforms like Boomi are built for application connectivity, syncing SaaS tools and triggering event-driven workflows. ETL platforms are built for transforming data at scale, cleaning, restructuring and moving large volumes with precision. CloverDX is purpose-built for the ETL/ELT use case.

CloverDX is generally the stronger fit for complex data transformations. It handles advanced ETL, heavy aggregations and CDC operations natively, where Boomi's low-code model can hit a ceiling that requires external scripting workarounds.

CloverDX licenses by server cores and Designer seats rather than by data volume, connections or environments, so costs stay predictable as usage grows. Boomi's consumption-based model can create unexpected overages at renewal.

No. CloverDX is built on open standards, so data and pipelines remain portable. Boomi's jobs and orchestration logic are built inside a proprietary runtime that doesn't transfer cleanly to other platforms.

Because CloverDX supports self-hosted on-premise, cloud and hybrid deployment, regulated teams aren't forced into a cloud-only architecture the way Boomi's cloud-native model can require. Sensitive data can stay inside infrastructure you control.

It means you're talking to the people who build the platform when something breaks, engineers who can diagnose problems directly, rather than a tiered support queue.

It depends on the number and complexity of existing integrations. CloverDX's migration framework and included professional services hours are built to make the timeline predictable rather than open-ended. Get in touch for an estimate based on your setup.

Yes. Most teams migrate in stages, running CloverDX and Boomi in parallel while pipelines are tested and cut over, rather than switching everything at once.
