Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others.""Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff.""Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness.""The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried.""The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable.""Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable.""Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy.""This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"The solution is useful for small projects.""We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill.""It has an open BPM""The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application.""The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it.""The product has a good task management engine.""We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before.""One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."

Cons
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone.""I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful.""I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation.""The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes.""There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity.""Installation could be made easier.""The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution.""Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

More Bonita Cons →

"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly.""Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date.""While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning.""The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw.""The initial setup can be complex for business users.""I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack.""In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese.""If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
