Pros
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features.""The solution is easy to use.""Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable.""Development of forms and flows.""One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform.""Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness.""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.""Bonita is user-friendly."

"All in all, Signavio usability is excellent. Anyone can learn to use the tool quickly. This increases acceptance as employees are not facing a high learning curve. With the offered usability it is easy to model processes also live in workshops.""The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change.""It is a stable solution.""We could increase the transparency and speed for the new ERP introduction. The status and changes by the new system are now clear to everybody and it is a great tool to train the people.""The most valuable feature for me is usability.""The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function.""This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement.""When comparing my experience with Celonis and Signavio, I can discern the distinctions between these two platforms. However, I'm unable to differentiate between ARAs and add-ons, as that falls outside my scope of familiarity. Regarding Celonis, it comes with its set of advantages and disadvantages. Notably, it boasts robust features like action flows, task mining, and seamless integration with AML programming. Conversely, Signavio lacks action flows and instead relies on action segments and tasks for interaction. This discrepancy is a significant factor setting Selenium and SecureView apart. In the context of Signavio, it offers a combination of BPMN and process discovery, a feature absent in Celonis. This tandem of BPMN and process insight contributes to Signavio’S potency. Meanwhile, Celonis primarily features the process miner tool, setting it apart from Signavio. These variations collectively outline the numerous differences existing between Celonis and Signavio."

Cons
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone.""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 need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components.""There is a considerable learning curve.""I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation.""The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes.""Installation could be made easier.""There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

More Bonita Cons →

"SAP Signavio Process Manager's UI is not user-friendly. Its pricing is also high.""Two executives cannot work on one modeling process simultaneously.""There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen.""I would like to have the option to select the color of items and subgroups in the glossary because right now it is fixed.""The solution is complex.""SAP Signavio Process Manager needs better automatic rendering of data.""Technical support has been somewhat challenging; there hasn't been much visibility on how to create a ticket or integrate with SAP.""I think the interface itself can improve a bit. I think the interface is still stuck about a decade in the past, if I may be so brutal about it. Some of the buttons are really small, so you can't even see them. I think it needs upgrading to the 21st century with apps and the way we use mobile phones."
