Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Development of forms and flows.""Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy.""Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable.""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.""I really enjoy using the workflow management.""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.""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 most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure.""OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box.""The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role.""The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents.""It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process.""The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues.""We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats.""It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions."

Cons
"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.""There is a considerable learning curve.""It is missing some important features that other products have.""I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation.""Installation could be made easier.""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.""We are struggling a bit with integrations.""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."

More Bonita Cons →

"We mostly use the Life Sciences package. That package is somewhat dated. There should be enhancements to the Life Science package and additional offerings to support pharma in particular.""An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site.""The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing.""It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum.""One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones.""Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard.""The vertical application could be improved.""Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."
