Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"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."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
