It is for access management.""The user interface is easy to use.""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."

Cons
"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.""We are struggling a bit with integrations.""The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve.""There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components.""Installation could be made easier.""Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product.""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."

More Bonita Cons →

"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility.""Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality.""OCR capability should be added as a feature.""It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."
