Cons
"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.""It is missing some important features that other products have.""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.""Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product.""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.""We are struggling a bit with integrations.""There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components.""There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

More Bonita Cons →

"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that.""More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful.""There can be some performance issues using the solution that should be improved. When you make modifications modify to files there are embedded data within that can take a while to process.""The migration tool needs to be included in the main package, and not as a separate license.""The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios.""There are other solutions out there that have a better user interface.""Requirements management needs to be improved.""I haven't used this solution long enough to know what areas could be improved."
