Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Bonita is user-friendly."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"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."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."
"It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers."
"The tool supports gRPC."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"The product supports various types of digital documents, including XMLs and EDI."
"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."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"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."
"Installation could be made easier."
"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."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
"This product has too many gaps. You find them after update installations. This should be covered by automatic testing."
"The market webMethods Integration Server falls under is a very crowded market, so for the product to stand out, Software AG would need to get traction in the open source community by releasing a new version or a base version and open source it, so people can create new custom components and add it to the portfolio."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"For code version control, you need to use some external software."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
