Bonita

Linux

Web-based

Windows

BPMN 2.0 support is a great positive. Process design is easy though the need for connectors (background activities (AKA Database access etc.)) is great.

Docente

What I like mostly is how their tools are designed, with the great variety of icons, as well as how workflow can be validated.

I personaly hate Wiki's, they just don't do it for me.

Consultor SOA

Good development interface, allowed the business to grow in a short time and the development of the BPMN processes met the expectations of the final users.

Network Manager

Without much difficulty, I have been able to create an internal document management and approval process in my company. Following the tutorials.

Temporary Instructor

Heavy load on laptop which can be stop other softwares running on the machine.

The BPM engine is a java api that is not very adaptable in business applications of high demand, learning is not very simple but the user ineration meets in a small percentage business expectations.

Deploying your own server can be a problem. Despite having a wide range of solutions, Windows, Linux, Mac, Web.

I implemented projects in several verticals: Financial, Telco, Public sector, Medical. It is just as any human process, you can implement with Bonita. I were able to solve each problem any of my clients needs.

Bonita 2021.1, what a trip!

My experience with BonitaSoft was pleasant and very professional, sometimes with certain difficulties since it was my first time using this software, however, I would use it again in the future if I need it because of the ease it gave me and my team. of work

Using BonitaSoft for the software development of an application for the economic management of a com

Good development interface, allowed the business to grow in a short time and the development of the BPMN processes met the expectations of the final users

Good tool for development in BPMN

Bonita just made sense. The more you learn and put it to use the more you seems to be working with nothing because it works as intended.

It is not that the piece has no problems. It does, as any software nowadays does. Sometimes you need to wait for a patch to come out and sometimes you just have to find and alternate ways of doing things but you never left at a dead end.

The heavy IDE makes thing slugish at times but once it is deployed, the workflow processes are a rocket.

Bonita Does It Beautifully

Thanks to Bonita BPM I was able to develop a process and export it to my jbpm server. Without much difficulty, I have been able to create an internal document management and approval process in my company. Following the tutorials.

Design your processes in a safe way at corporate levels.

We have been using your open source product for the past 3 months or so. We are very likely to continue using your open source product. I fully understand the commercial aspects of business, as I have been in this business for over 40 years, so that is not the issue. 

We would be very happy to contribute to your product in code, examples, and large implementations. We also could advertise your product in the healthcare industry along side our product that is presented throughout the world in healthcare shows. 

We have an open source offering (i.e. messaging framework) and we are using BonitaBPM as our business modelling tool.  We have successfully used your product and created front-end web interfaces. Your product provides our Business Analysts the ability they have always wanted but were unable to achieve with out your solution, to close the gap between business knowledge and the developers. 

Our issue is we were told to not ask questions of your support persons, as we are not using your commercial offering. We have a healthcare messaging framework that requires vast numbers of business requirements that we have modelled in BonitaBPM and used the output as our web interface. I would like to think we have common ground between our organizations that would provide mutual benefit. 

We, Leidos, are a 23,000 person firm. We are an organization that has been providing healthcare solutions sense 1965 and we have a very strong reputation in US government and international healthcare. I would think we might be able to aid one another in our efforts. 

We have able to apply the original technical information we received from your staff and gained additional information and understanding as own development team members dug through your product code base. If you would like to discuss this further please let me know.

Open Source versus Commercial

Bonita. tool to make the BPM a marvel.

I used Bonita soft in project where we need to design process from a research centre areas,workflow.

We love the product, but as with all things there are frustrations especially in the early days, our people have been learning and moving forward two - three steps and then somethng comes along and you have to take a quick one backwards.

This is one product that will go forward and I believe will become the standard to compete with.  I just wish support would be easier for the open community.

I will be reporting back over time on findings, regards


Excellent Product - just minor Issues

We are developing a draft of course automation which is in progress but unfortunately the work is going on with load of hard disk.

Excellent produit

Excellent product

I am new to BonitaSoft.  I have gone through the 3-hour online webinar, and the tool has lots of promise.  However, we are not in a position as an institution to spend $20k a year on it.  So if we want to use it, we must at least start with the community edition.

That being said, it doesn't seem like a very active community.  I think if you released an open-source ldap authentication module, you might spark more activity in the open source version, which would lead to more adoption of the commercial version

Good product, but needs more  community support

I was tasked with finding a BPM product to develop workflow applications.  I evaluated three, of which BonitaSoft was one.  Compared with the other products, Bonita was the easiest to understand and develop with.  Our organization wanted to customize the forms, and Bonita was the easiest to accomplish that with.

Needed a BPM Tool for workflow applications

Used in proyects 

easy to install and use product that is a must for BPM

great product

I think that some functions are explained away too quickly, (specific actors, sending emails, creating your own group), but I the software does the job, in a rather short time frame.  

Thank  you for having an awesome customer service even for the "Community" version.

I like Bonita.....

Pros: Ease of use. Easy to learn. Good documentation.
Cons: Not many users are using it for residential construction processes.

Create custom workflows for homebuilders

Does exactly as advertised, refreshing indeed
