Product Details

What is Bonita Platform?

Bonitasoft supports digital operations and modernization of information systems with Bonita, an open-source and extensible platform for automation and optimization of business processes.

Presented as easy to handle and integrate into heterogeneous information systems, Bonita accelerates development and deployment of process automation projects, service orchestration and application development. This is made possible by its low code capabilities, reusable components, and unified deployment on-premise and on the cloud.

CIOs can confront both short-term challenges (often from requests from business teams who wish to support their business development), and the long-term challenge of modernizing IT to deliver on business needs and customer expectations.

Open-source, extensible and integrated, Bonita is based on an architecture that clearly separates the process, data and user interface layers. All project team members can collaborate to develop, deploy and maintain sustainable processes in line with the expectations of business users. Project governance, specific to each company, is respected by a clear separation between visual programming and coding capabilities. Each project team member can leverage their specific know-how and skills to add value. The technologies used do not require learning new languages ​​or methods, but instead rely on commonly used components such as Java, enterprise services such as SSO and LDAP, continuous delivery, and the ability to develop in SDKs. These capabilities avoid the need for additional resources.

The use of BPMN, reusable components, numerous extension points, deployment on premise or in the cloud all help guarantee rapid and agile developments.

Complex business processes become visible with centralized monitoring. Traceability, execution control and reduced risk of errors allow teams to focus on optimizing and improving operational efficiency on an ongoing basis.

It is pretty simple to duplicate a process to implement a different use case. The feature for saving a connector configuration is also great as it saves time for the developer to use it on another step of the process for example.

Users are very happy with the solution, even if it does not cover all possible situation. It requires a very reliable referential, especially on 'Users in charge', to work correctly.
Implementation of first processes are hard, because all situations haven't been thought of, but it improves with time.

As mentioned, it is very good for certain application types. Also being Java-based (Groovy) limited us a bit as we didn't have strong expertise, but was easy to learn.

A lot of things are very good and easy to use, but some are hidden behind a lot of menu buttons and/or mouse clicks like the SQL connector implementation. It seems like a good portion of the interface is still made like the older versions

Bonita Platform has allowed us to develop GUI relatively fast using its UI Designer while being able to seamlessly integrate our business logic in Java in a BPMN2 process diagram. It gives a nice productivity boost but still requires programming know-how to be able to deliver the final solution to your business problems.

Concerning usability, Bonita performs very well, but you still need extra configuration and work to personalize the solution. This is bad but also good, as it allows you to personalize the solution you are working on with total control.

Easy to learn and build the capability within the existing team. Performs well in small and straightforward processes. Reasonable pricing; could do better for integration support for Cloud-based platform feature

ResellerIncentivized
Automating an application requires managing different parts of the entire solution which don't always have the same way of working so that some previous experience is required to be productive. Apart from that validating the solution, error handling, and the usability of the final solution (automated process) are very good. From the end-user point of view, usability is excellent, he would not know that he's using a process baes application.

As a developer, I am very satisfied with Bonita Platform. It's easy to learn and use. I have tried to learn other tools as well but have not received as much success as I did with Bonita. All the new developers can start using Bonita for their internal evaluation. There is a good amount of learning material available and I feel excited to try out the new features with latest version of Bonita BPM.

First onboarding was very quick and easy. The community is a real strength as we can have a lot of interactions in the forum and easily get help. Non software teams can implement BPMN scenarios and experiment complexity of having all ending possibilities to address an efficient workflow. I enjoy very much the web designer even if non IT teams are only concerned by design.

As I mentioned in another answer to this research, the non-functional usability requirement is one of the weaknesses of Bonita, especially with the mechanisms for generating interfaces, but also in the development environment.
