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
Paragon
- No price is published for either plan, and both require a quote
- Cost scales with the number of customer tenants using the integrations, so the bill follows an end customer count rather than the vendor's own usage
- SAML SSO, self hosting, dynamic field mapping and SLAs are all Enterprise only
