We performed a comparison between Bonita and IBM BPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"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 solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"It has improved my organization quite a bit. It brought awareness to what the business processes are, even to the business side, who did not necessarily know what they are."
"The installation was straightforward."
"One thing that I love about them is that they make it easier to integrate with other systems, especially with the use of smaller files."
"The designer feature, compared to other solutions is easy to use."
"The case management and its integration with process design are good features."
"We like that it does not require a lot of hours to train our people."
"It is a very powerful solution."
"Provides the power to understand and automate processes."
"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."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"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."
"Installation could be made easier."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"When you have to integrate files for enterprise applications."
"I would like to see the solution be able to interact with other customer software solutions."
"The engine itself tends to accumulate a lot of data that needs to be cleaned up, and that's the kind of thing that keeps it from, in some scenarios, scaling as much as it needs to. And then, when you're building solutions, if you're not careful to keep the screens from being associated with too much data, if you're going to just do things the way that a lot of people would just assume that they can do, without having experience of having made those mistakes before, it will accumulate a lot of data, and that will cause it to perform very badly."
"They don't have a mechanism to achieve processes, data sources, and data."
"The initial setup process is complex for basic users."
"I would like to see more inclusion of RPA technologies. If we have more manual processes, we can use robotic process automation and integrate that in with the solution."
"I believe that if the license were cheaper, it would have a greater impact."
"The tool's workflow function is very strong."
