Has improved workflow automation and reduced manual tasks while offering room for simpler deployment

Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks. PowerShell and Python scripting capabilities assist us significantly in developing tailored automation at 90% efficiency. I have utilized Azure Automation runbooks. We don't create new runbooks because some runbook templates simplify our business processes and tasks effectively.

Cons

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"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."
