Process library has unified workflows and now provides transparent ownership across our bank
The complexity of versions in Adonis Platform depends on how complicated they are. If you create a simple flow, it is easy, but you can create flows with swimlanes and quite tricky options, and then it can become very large and very complicated. For simple tasks or for simple processes from operations, it is easy. Something that I miss in Adonis Platform is that we do not have a way to see who made changes. You can only see if you change the versions; you can see the older version, but you cannot see the history. Maybe if I work on Monday and I make some changes there, I can see the results today, but I cannot see the steps in between, the history. I miss the history. We also have an issue that we would really like to use AI, but it is a little bit difficult because we do not want to have all our processes available for external AI. So we have to create an internal AI, and I do not know if we are going to do it because this might be very expensive. I wish it would be easier for Adonis Platform to have some AI integrated. Also, the concept of rights is very difficult because everybody can access Adonis Platform, but only in a view-only mode. It is a very complicated process with ordering your rights for Adonis Platform because there are many different departments using Adonis Platform and they do not want everybody to be able to change their processes. So we have a rights concept for Adonis Platform, and it is quite complicated. The user permissions are very complicated and annoying. Overall I am satisfied with Adonis Platform, but it takes a while until you learn how it works. There are many questions from colleagues about how it works, what you can do, and what things mean. There is quite a lot of training necessary. I still think that AI would be a great contribution for Adonis Platform. For example, if you could tell AI to build you a process in BPMN style for whatever process, and AI would do it automatically, that would be perfect, but currently we are still doing it manually.

Automated hardening has standardized our servers and reduces effort for secure Windows workloads
The first-boot time is longer than a stock Windows AMI. Sysprep and the initial hardening pass add a noticeable delay before the instance is reachable, which is something to account for if you autoscale and need nodes ready quickly. The hardened defaults also occasionally trip up common installers and agents. A few of our deployment and monitoring tools assumed services or policies that the image had locked down, so we had to add exceptions. A short compatibility checklist of what the hardening changes from a default Windows install would have saved us that debugging. I would also like the option of a CIS Level 2 build for our more sensitive workloads since the image currently only ships a Level 1 baseline. Thanks.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Adonis Platform has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to connect processes with swim lanes, clearly defining roles, the systems used in the process, and the risks involved."
"Adonis Platform has positively impacted my organization because, considering the region is something new, in the last few years we have had some kind of transformation."
