Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable.""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.""The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it.""It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications.""I really enjoy using the workflow management.""The solution is easy to use.""Bonita is user-friendly.""The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."

"Process Manager is really helpful in building process maps. Creating them is really easy; the program is user-friendly.""I would say the collaboration features are very useful to us, because we are a European organization, so we are not in one location. This is an easy way to share with other people and ask them for feedback. That is the use case for us.""The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models.""It is a stable solution.""The product's most valuable feature is the transformation process.""The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth.""When comparing my experience with Celonis and Signavio, I can discern the distinctions between these two platforms. However, I'm unable to differentiate between ARAs and add-ons, as that falls outside my scope of familiarity. Regarding Celonis, it comes with its set of advantages and disadvantages. Notably, it boasts robust features like action flows, task mining, and seamless integration with AML programming. Conversely, Signavio lacks action flows and instead relies on action segments and tasks for interaction. This discrepancy is a significant factor setting Selenium and SecureView apart. In the context of Signavio, it offers a combination of BPMN and process discovery, a feature absent in Celonis. This tandem of BPMN and process insight contributes to Signavio’S potency. Meanwhile, Celonis primarily features the process miner tool, setting it apart from Signavio. These variations collectively outline the numerous differences existing between Celonis and Signavio.""The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."

Cons
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value.""I would like to improve the product's load balancing.""Installation could be made easier.""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.""The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve.""There is a considerable learning curve.""The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes.""The dashboard has limited features."

More Bonita Cons →

"If you start from scratch then I think this product would be ideal, but if you already have something then it may or may not suit you.""I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator.""There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team.""We sometimes experience downtime or a dropped connection, so I think that the stability can be improved for the SaaS solution.""The product's pricing could be improved.""The price can be made cheaper.""Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool.""For us, it would help a lot if this solution had floating licenses."
