Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy.""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.""The user interface is easy to use.""The solution is easy to use.""We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management.""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.""Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."

Cons
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation.""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.""The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes.""The dashboard has limited features.""Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated.""I would like to improve the product's load balancing.""The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve.""We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"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."
