Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Boomi

Subscription tier prices are not published; only the pay-as-you-go base of $99 a month plus usage is stated
Metered on several axes at once, including connections, users, environments and API transactions, so the bill is hard to predict from any one of them
Connection counts, environments and user seats are all capped by edition

Microsoft Teams

Resource-heavy application; slow to load and consumes significant CPU/memory compared to alternatives
Limited channel structure; maximum of 200 public and 30 private channels per team
Cannot invite guest users to specific channels; guest access grants full team visibility
Unable to chat during screen sharing; limits real-time collaborative communication
Limited customization options for branding and interface; cluttered UX compared to Slack
Channels cannot be moved between teams; requires manual replication for reorganization
