With it, we can run processes immediately after the design stage, but not all BPMN 2.0 notations are supported.

What is most valuable?

1- Rapid Live Process Design and verification

2- Webservices and Connector

3- Form Builder

How has it helped my organization?

1- Designing processes is a two way street: you design and verify and the verification process usually is a guess work. But 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.

2- Designing processes requires interaction with other systems to get, set, update and delete objects. With Bonita Connectors, it's really easy to design and run processes which interact with other systems.

3- Quick prototyping by utilizing the Form Builder, get your data as per your requirements and prototype the process/application FAST!

What needs improvement?

BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)

Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: I am Authorized to re-sell the product
