We performed a comparison between Bonita and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Provides a single repository for all architecture work."
"The system provides powerful tools for obtaining reports and documentation."
"Its most valuable feature is the Zachman Framework."
"Its traversability is most valuable. I can use ArchiMate, and I can create a UML model. ArchiMate is for logical enterprise architecture, UML is for software engineering, and BPMN is for business processes. I can build it to have multiple models, and they are also traversable, which is not something that every tool allows. If there is a huge organization, you can segment it and have separate models for business technology or internal resource management system. You don't need to keep them in one model, and you can decide to segregate them."
"Sparx offers good flexibility."
"Ability to maintain cross-references for all models in all levels - great tractability."
"The profiles and ready-made templates are an extremely helpful feature. This is one of the biggest features that I find very useful in Sparx."
"Automated document generation is a real time saver, no more cut and paste, no more keeping track of which diagrams are in which reports, no more last minute update panics. Just click a mouse and you've got an up to date report."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"Installation could be made easier."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"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."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"I have found the solution is lacking options. The general usability needs improvement and more compliance to CML definitions."
"Weak in regards to data modelling. No logical or physical modelling or migration from conceptual to physical."
"More challenging than other tools to maintain documents and document versions for an architecture board review."
"This solution should have better ease of use for the uninitiated."
"When many users are accessing the system at the same time, Sparx slows down. It can't easily support a large team."
"The modeling tool is targeted toward a sophisticated user."
"The reporting needs improvement."
"It would be great if we could decrease the use of different parts of the Toolbox."
