"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"Development of forms and flows."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Visual Paradigm is super user-friendly, especially for new team members. I always have them start with it because the interface is so simple to pick up. They usually spend about six months to a year using only Visual Paradigm before moving on to other tools. We also use the cloud repository for collaborative work, but I've had some trouble with code reviewing and limitations. Sometimes, customers even request the source file or exported XML because it's easier for them to access and review."
"The application is easy to use and provides informative diagrams."
"What I like best about Visual Paradigm is its simple GUI, especially since I'm a new user. In my two years of experience with this tool, I didn't find it complex because I was able to learn how to use it via YouTube videos. Visual Paradigm is enough for me. I also find the bridging feature in the tool valuable."
"The solution is stable. It hasn't crashed, stopped or caused any issues in any way."
"It is easy-to-use and it helps understand its data modeling structure through the intuitive user interface."
"I find it very user-friendly for my purposes, which is creating business process models that I can publish as HTML pages. It has worked flawlessly for my project, and my clients are able to utilize it as an internal web portal for their process documentation and other needs."
"I love Visual Paradigm because it has many different types of diagrams. For any field of engineering, we can find a diagram."
"It is easy and intuitive to use, not excessively rigid, and quite flexible."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"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."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"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."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"I was looking to generate code from the diagrams, but it was not totally clear how to do it."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model. I would suggest implementing country-specific pricing, as many other products in India do. This would make Visual Paradigm more affordable and accessible."
"From time to time, we experience some troubles when we work as teams."
"The user interface is not easy to navigate, so it should be made easier."
"The solution is not user-friendly. It uses a lot of memory and CPU. You have to have a good computer to use it."
"Takes up a lot of resources."
"Visual Paradigm could improve many aspects. The performance could be better because it can be low. When we have large and complicated models, it has a low speed and many bugs. Sometimes the solution stops and you have to restart Microsoft Windows on your PC. The larger database modeling cannot be done properly, I have to use another solution called SAP PowerDesigner."
"The solution can be heavy on resource usage."
