Bonita Reviews

Process modelling and web screen development

The major improvement that I see is a paradigm shift to how work should be accomplished over how the industry has always been forced to do the work. Historically, there was a 'no man's land' between the business analyst and the developer. Web developers have been asked to understand the business process models without knowledge that the real business analysts have always had at their finger tips and visa-versa. 

BonitaBPM allows the BA's to model the processes and produce the base screens at the same time. This removes the need for back and forth exchanges between the team disciplines, reducing errors and time. It also allows the developers to spend their time doing what they know and are well paid to do, coding.

The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times. With experience this is a minor issue for the gain.

We only use the open source product, so this is not a real complaint as much as a statement: Support for the open source is only at the highest levels of usage. Getting down to the details is an exercise one needs to plan for or purchase the commercial offering.

I hope to use this product for many years to come. It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company.

I am using it in a development/pre-production environment for testing.

not used in production.

I really enjoy using the workflow management tool.

We are workiong hard to get integrations nailed down.

I can't evaluate it yet as it has has not been moved into any UAT or production environment.

Not evaluated yet.

For most of the issues, I can find support in the Bonita community. There are useful resources from the Bonita community. It is easy to pull information from the community.

I found it when I was searching the Internet for open source solutions. I found a couple of recommendations for Bonita so we added it to our testing platform candidates. 

The initial setup is not easy, but manageable when in virtual environment. We are testing the docker container option.

In-house

The Community Edition comes free of charge.

We are considering Bonita over other BPM solutions because of its querying tools.

Rely on the community.

I have it working with Docker and Virtual Machines.
