"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"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."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."

"F5 BIG-IQ has always provided us with great support."
"The reporting feature is quite good."
"Installation could be made easier."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"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."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"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 solution's rSeries has been made free, and iSeries should be made free as well."
"F5 BIG-IQ should improve by being a complete certificate management solution because currently, it is only for Venafi. Other automation platforms, should be added."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"There are a lot of scripts available on the internet for people who know how to use them, but with a graphical interface, it would be easier for new users."
"Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on."
"They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us."
"The shell, kernel, or Linux has something like a delay, especially with the Virtual Edition, when you are trying to implement it in the cloud and you want to access it remotely with web management. It would be great if they could improve their kernel. It was difficult for me, especially when I got started with BIG-IP. I was struggling to find which commands work with it. If you want to work with it, you have to be a Linux guy."
"I had trouble with high availability deployment in my environment."
