Pros
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy.""It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications.""I really enjoy using the workflow management.""The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications.

It is for access management.""Development of forms and flows.""Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems.

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.""There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity.""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.""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.""There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components.""There is a considerable learning curve.""The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
