Cons
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing.""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.""Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product.""It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone.""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.""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.""It is missing some important features that other products have."

"The product needs to be well marketed, then adopted. I am not seeing many customers using the product.""I cannot use DB2 specifications, DB2 comments, easily."
