Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
NarendraThota - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that helps save money in the long run with a need to offer users the ability to deal with large datasets
From an improvement perspective, Boomi AtomSphere Flow should come up with the ability to deal with large datasets. The data integration part is a concern when you try to connect to an on-premises environment since the latency is high, making it an aspect where improvements are required to reduce the latency. Whenever Boomi AtomSphere Flow gets integrated with applications like SAP, it is important to ensure that what you develop is user-friendly, which is a process that takes time, especially when compared with webMethods.io or TIBCO. The development effort with Boomi AtomSphere Flow is more when you compare it with other tools, which is a drawback and an area of improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"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."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its core integration with Boomi AtomSphere because it's extremely easy to tap into any informational system of a company."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is integrated through APIs, it exposes the API and any product can call the APIs in the queue. Additionally, it is secure."
"In the long run, if you have a good team, solution architect, and an architect from Boomi's side, then it is a good tool from an ROI perspective since it can help save money."

Cons

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

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"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."
"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 dashboard has limited features."
"The technical support is rated around 6.5 to seven out of ten. It lacks clarity on how to reach out, write emails, or understand responsiveness."
"There is room for improvement in Boomi's AI capabilities."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. The whole solution is used through an interface and it could always be improved."
"Its stability could be improved."
"The solution's user interface building needs improvement."
"Boomi is not as flexible compared to other integration products like IBM's. For complex integration scenarios, Boomi could improve its flexibility."
"The development effort with Boomi AtomSphere Flow is more when you compare it with other tools, which is a drawback and an area of improvement."
