Overall Satisfaction with Bonita BPM

Bonita BPM is used across the whole organization, we use it for all kinds of business processes in the holding and also the other countries. We have processes for vendor claims, trainings, and investment requests.

Pros

  • The modeling tool is very easy to use, it took me less than 20 minutes to create and deploy my first application.
  • The large number of connectors is a plus, we manage to connect our application to SAP & Alfresco.
  • We use a lot Bonita APIs, that way you can use the BPM engine in any business application.

Cons

  • The administration console can be improved, for example, it's not easy to access the logs when you have a problem.
  • The new forms are responsive in design but there is no mobile application!
  • I would like them to add a milestone feature. With a milestone, it's more easy to follow complex business processes.
  • It's less expensive to develop business process with Bonita than developing ABAP workflows in SAP or Salesforce.
  • Our countries uses Bonita, it's very important to us that our countries use the same tools as the holding [company]. It simplifies the overall IT landscape.
  • We managed to remove the old workflow tools used in our countries. We now have only one solution for the whole company.
Bonita BPM has much more connectors than SAP NetWeaver BPM. It's easier and cheaper to develop processes with Bonita and also the consultants are less expensive on that technology.
Bonita BPM is well suited to develop new simple applications or new applications on top of an existing ERP. But you need to have good integration skills on your team to be able to do that.

    Hello Mr Godart, Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We really appreciate all the feedback you have provided and we are happy to see that you are satisfied with your experience with Bonita BPM. We are committed to offering a flexible and open solution that makes it easy for developers and IT teams to create and deploy rich and integrated applications for their end users. The Bonita BPM 7 user interface is fully responsive, and allows you to create custom applications for any kind of device, although you cannot create different forms for web and mobile usage. I will provide this feedback to our teams. I have also noted that you would like a "milestone" feature to be implemented. I will provide your feedback to our Product Marketing team, and I suggest that we discuss this further during our next follow-up meeting. I will get back to you very soon to schedule one. Best regards, Delphine from the Bonitasoft Customer Success Team
