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."Easy to configure and simple to develop new features."
"ActiveBatch's Self-Service Portal allows our business units to run and monitor their own workloads. They can simply run and review the logs, but they can't modify them. It increases their productivity because they are able to take care of things on their own. It saves us time from having to rerun the scripts, because the business units can just go ahead and log in and and rerun it themselves."
"The user interface is really incredible."
"Approximately ~20 hours of manual effort have been reduced to ~5 hours with the help of ActiveBatch."
"Error Handling is one of the best standout features of ActiveBatch."
"It can connect to a number of third-party/legacy systems."
"By implementing a sophisticated scheduling mechanism, the system allows for the precise triggering of jobs at user-selected frequencies, enabling a seamless and automated execution of tasks according to specified time intervals."
"The REST API adapters and native integrations for integrating and orchestrating the software stack are very flexible."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"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."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"A cloud option is not provided as a free feature, making it a costly solution for smaller organizations."
"We have faced a couple of issues where we were supposed to log a defect with ActiveBatch. That said, the Active batch Vendor Support is very responsive and reliable."
"It does have a little bit of a learning curve because it is fairly complex. You have to learn how it does things. I don't know if it's any worse than any other tool would be, just because of the nature of what it does... the learning curve is the hardest part."
"They should offer pricing that is more affordable."
"They have some crucial design flaws within the console that still need to be worked out because it is not working exactly how we hoped to see it, e.g., just some minor things where when you hit the save button, then all of a sudden all your job's library items collapse. Then, in order to continue on with your testing, you have to open those back up. I have taken that to them, and they are like, "Yep. We know about it. We know we have some enhancements that need to be taken care of. We have more developers now." They are working towards taking the minor things that annoy us, resolving them, and getting them fixed."
"The interface is not that user-friendly and is a little tough to navigate."
"The product should be improved by providing a customization option."
"I can't get the cleaning up of logs to work consistently. Right now, we are not setup correctly, and maybe it is something that I have not effectively communicated to them."
"Installation could be made easier."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"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."
"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."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
