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."We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"Development on Apache Airflow is really fast, and it's easy to use with the newer updates. Everything is in Python, so it's not hard to understand. They also have a graphical view, so if you are not a programmer and you are just an administrator, you can easily track everything and see if everything is working or not."
"We have been quite satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"The reason we went with Airflow is its DAG presentation, that shows the relationships among everything. It's more of a configuration-driven workflow."
"It's stable."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"The UI is very simple and easy to learn."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"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."
"Development of forms and flows."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"I would like to see it more friendly for other use cases."
"One specific feature that is missing from Airflow is that the steps of your workflow are not pipelined, meaning the stageless steps of any workflow. Not every workflow can be implemented within Airflow."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"The graphical user interface can be improved."
"We have faced scenarios where Apache Airflow becomes non-responsive, leading to job failures. To resolve such situations, we had to manually reboot Apache Airflow since it doesn't provide an option to restart within the application. This necessitated modifying some configurations to initiate a restart of all Apache Airflow components. Although Apache Airflow is generally dependable, it may occasionally encounter glitches that can disrupt production flows and batches."
"Programmatically, it's very good, and it doesn't have any competitors, but you cannot develop anything in Airflow UI. You need to develop everything within the program. In the market, other tools have come up recently as competitors to Airflow, and they also give graphical programming options, whereas Airflow doesn't provide that feature currently. All the DAGs you want to build need to be coded in Python."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"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."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"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."
