We performed a comparison between BizTalk Server and Bonita based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Process Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Compared to the current solutions I use, like Azure Logic Apps and other cloud services, BizTalk was far better and more reliable."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability and stability. The first version of BizTalk was released in 2000, and many companies still use it. It was stable until 2013 when we had support."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"We can handle a large number of messages without any issues, ensuring that everything runs smoothly."
"BIzTalk's integration with Visual Studio is the most valuable feature of this product."
"The most valuable feature of BizTalk Server is that it will turn XML into flexible transactions."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with the banks. Its messaging and routing capabilities are good."
"Essentially, you can do whatever you like with these systems, and you do not have to take care about the scaling because if one server is overloaded, it just forwards the message to the next server, even if it were designated to a specific server. It weeds out the messages according to the load. If you want to scale it, you just add new servers."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"The product's deployment can be quicker"
"The product could be improved in monitoring, managing, and support functionalities."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"It's a complex product because you have many degrees of freedom to connect different parts together. Whether it's sensible or not, is up to you, but the machine does allow it. But because of the vast degrees of freedom, it's complex."
"It's an on-premises system, requiring physical servers for deployment. This is different from Azure; you don't need any servers with Azure. If you have a subscription, you can do whatever you want. There are unit restrictions based on the environment (like non-production vs. production) in BizTalk. You need physical servers and databases. In Azure, those are not required – it's all in the cloud."
"BizTalk Server is an outdated legacy system that does not support messaging."
"BizTalk lacks native cloud support. BizTalk doesn't offer in-built support for cloud. We need to use third-party adapters to connect it to cloud services."
"BizTalk is in the past, Microsoft is not going to evolve it any further or add any new features."
"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."
"Installation could be made easier."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"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."
