Boomi
Also known as: Boomi Agentstudio, Dell Boomi
Integration platform that adds agentic automation and an agent control plane across enterprise systems.
Boomi is a veteran integration and automation vendor now selling itself as the control layer for enterprise AI agents. Its argument is that agents are only as good as the data and connections behind them, and Boomi already owns that plumbing: connectors to more than a thousand applications, API management, data pipelines and event streams.
The AI side of the platform has four named parts. Agentstudio builds, governs and orchestrates agents, with no-code building in structured or conversational modes, persistent memory, file upload, built-in guardrails that set rules, restrictions and filters and let teams test agent behavior before it deploys, and embedding so agents drop into a business process or another application and can be managed programmatically.
The Agent Control Plane is the governance hub: a registry that governs any agent, model or data, including third-party agents from other AI providers, with token-level analytics, runtime monitoring, anomaly detection and an instant kill switch. Boomi Connect gives agents governed access to enterprise applications, and the AI Gateway controls every AI and MCP interaction.
Agent context comes from the data layer, where Knowledge Hub turns enterprise knowledge into context, Meta Hub supplies business meaning and Data Hub delivers trusted data products, all fed by the platform's ingestion, transformation and replication pipelines.
Governance and placement are the strongest parts of the estate. Every agent runs on least privilege, scoped per connector to the tools and actions it may invoke and honoring existing identity provider groups, with role-based access, encryption, customer-held keys and full audit logging that tracks reasoning and actions. Customers can require human-in-the-loop approvals or policy checks.
A decoupled runtime processes data locally, so agents can run in the customer's cloud, behind the firewall, across multi-region instances or on premises, with bring-your-own-model supported and a statement that model providers never store customer data. Boomi lists SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018, HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, StateRAMP, IRAP and GDPR among its frameworks, including ISO 42001 for responsible AI.
What it is not is a screen-automation or consumer chat product: agents act through connectors, APIs and MCP tools rather than driving a browser. Agentstudio's base edition is included in Boomi Enterprise Platform editions, with a free 30-day trial and pricing quoted through sales.

Integrations
Boomi Connect gives agents governed access to more than a thousand enterprise applications, with published MCP connectors, named integrations including SAP, AWS, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle NetSuite, Slack and Workday, and a marketplace. Enterprise assets can be published as governed MCP tools, and the AI Gateway controls every AI and MCP interaction. Each agent is scoped per connector to the tools and actions it may invoke, honoring the customer's existing identity provider groups.
In practice
Agents are multiplying across your business faster than anyone can track. Boomi's Agent Control Tower governs them all in one place, including third party agents from Bedrock, Agentforce, and Copilot, with logs, anomaly detection, and a kill switch.
Your AI keeps making best guesses because it cannot see the real data. Boomi grounds agents in a single source of truth through its integration pipelines, so they act on consistent, live business information.
An integration fails at 3 a.m. and stalls a critical process. A Boomi agent detects the root cause, reroutes or remediates based on historical patterns, and escalates to a human only for high stakes decisions.

Agent steps sit inside Boomi's deterministic integration processes. Agentstudio is sold to "build, govern and orchestrate all agents", with Orchestrate named as "a whole new way to build agentic workflows" and embedding that integrates agents "directly into any business process". Data Orchestration, Event Streams and Task Automation run beneath it, and the Agent Control Plane coordinates first and third party agents in one registry. Agents also collaborate with each other and remediate failing integrations on their own, detecting a root cause and rerouting. Boomi does not describe how agent workflows are versioned.

Agent context, to "ground agents with trusted data, meaning and knowledge", comes from three products in the data layer, Knowledge Hub ("turn enterprise knowledge into context for agents"), Meta Hub ("ground AI agents with business context") and Data Hub ("deliver trusted data products that power agentic AI"). Data ingestion, transformation and CDC replication pipelines keep them up to date, with no retraining. Agentstudio agents also accept file upload.

Customers can require human approvals, set guardrails and stop any agent instantly. Boomi says "guardrails and access controls ensure that agents act only within authorized scopes, and customers can require human-in-the-loop approvals or policy checks where needed", and that for custom agents built in Agentstudio customers have "full lifecycle management capabilities, including defining goals, instructions, tools, and data" access. Agentstudio adds built in guardrails (precise rules, restrictions and filters), and the Agent Control Plane can "disable any agents instantly with a kill switch".

Boomi's compliance list covers SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, StateRAMP, IRAP and GDPR, and Boomi cites "16+ worldwide security and compliance frameworks, including ISO 42001 for responsible AI". Centralized governance registers all agents with "a centralized registry, role-based access, runtime monitoring, encryption, and full audit logging", and puts "every agent on least privilege: scope exactly which tools and actions each agent can invoke per connector, honoring your existing IdP groups". Customers can hold their own encryption keys, and Boomi states data is never stored by model providers.

Recent platform changes
Boomi Agent Control Tower now supports adding provider agents at the account level, manually or through AI Catalog. When connecting Salesforce, Microsoft Copilot, or Snowflake Cortex, customers can choose scheduled Boomi Sync or API Push. API Push lets customers supply metadata and usage metrics that those providers do not return through Boomi Sync.
Bears on: Observability / auditability
View sourceBoomi launched the Agent Control Plane and Boomi AI Gateway to provide centralized governance and visibility for enterprise AI agents. The new infrastructure combines MCP and LLM gateway capabilities to inspect live traffic, apply identity and rate limits, and hold high-risk transactional actions for human approval.

Not public; Agentstudio Base Edition included in Boomi Enterprise Platform editions, with more via enterprise sales
platform edition plus agent capabilities
What is public
No public rate. Boomi bundles a base agent edition into its platform editions but publishes no list pricing; platform and additional agent capabilities are quoted through sales.
Billing mechanics
Agentstudio Base Edition is included in all Boomi Enterprise Platform editions, with additional functionality via account representatives. Overall cost is tied to the platform edition, connector and integration usage, and data volume rather than a standalone agent price.
Cost watchouts
The base agent edition is bundled, but advanced governance, additional connectors, and data volume can raise platform cost. Confirm what Control Tower and Agent Designer capabilities are included versus paid upgrades.
Variable cost rationale
Priced through the Boomi Enterprise Platform, so cost tracks platform edition, connectors, and data volume; predictable once scoped, though scaling agents, integrations, and data raises it.
Additional watchouts
Because agent pricing rides on the broader platform, evaluate the total Boomi Enterprise Platform cost, not just agents; confirm which advanced Agentstudio and Agent Control Plane capabilities require an upgrade.
Sales call required
Yes, required for paid access
Free / trial
Base agent capabilities bundled in platform editions; trials via sales, no public self serve rate
Key ambiguities
No entry rate is published; agent capabilities are tied to Boomi Enterprise Platform editions whose pricing is quoted through sales.
