Paparao Nadipineni

Architect at Evoke

Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration

Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.

Architect at Evoke

A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations

The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.

FABIO NAGAO

Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA

Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling

There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."

"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."

"Bizagi is flexible. I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community. It has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."

"The tool helps to improve business processes and have better KPIs. Also, it is easy to use. Our developers find it easy to learn."

"The approval process is simple."

"The solution's simulation capabilities are the most valuable aspects."

"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."

"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."

More Bizagi pros

"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."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"The solution is easy to use."

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

"The user interface is easy to use."

More Bonita pros

"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."

"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."

"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."

"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."

"The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation."

"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."

"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."

More Camunda pros

Cons

"One part of the university has changed its regular desktops to Linux. This is a weak point because Bizagi doesn't run on Linux. I would like the opportunity to run the software inside of Linux."

"I would like to see the automation process included in the next release."

"Bizagi needs a way to define categories such as process groups like the APQC framework, PCF, and handle the processes within it."

"Bizagi's UI should include shorter steps for documenting controls, documenting properties, changing some attributes in the object, and adding additional text."

"It is expensive compared to other tools which I have in the market."

"The open source version lacks the option to publish."

"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."

"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."

More Bizagi cons

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

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

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."

"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."

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

More Bonita cons

"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."

"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."

"The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training."

"Documentation can be improved."

"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."

"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."

"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."

"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."

More Camunda cons

Pricing and Cost Advice
