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 the 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, and 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.


Bonita Process Insights lets users:

  • Monitor key metrics and indicators like cycle time, deviations, failures, and objectives such as SLAs
  • Compare different versions of a process to measure the impact of changes and improvements and what factors affect process execution
  • Spot bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and risks within your processes and workflows
  • Customize business goals to track meaningful objectives

In our use case, Bonita was well-suited enough. But there as been some difficulties to implement a cron-based process to clean up or retry the cases in error state or not updated for a long time for example. I can't say how the product will be suited for a more complex use case, but I'm sure that the support of Bonitasoft will help a lot, as has been the case for us.

It is a complete and flexible tool, but not so easy to implement. You need a real technical team to implement a project, it cannot be done easily from a BPM diagramm.
It can be used for BPM or Case management, and can mix both in one process.

Well suited for low code/no code applications centered around approval flows. It has built-in task management for users to see their pending actions, comments, statuses, etc. It has a very nice design for process flows. Less appropriate may be for generic type applications with complex screens and logic within those screens that need a lot of data to process.

The Bonita platform is available in a Community edition with no licensing costs, a subscription model, and a PaaS alternative in the Bonita Cloud. This lets a potential customer experiment by himself before deciding on the platform. The Community edition is not a toy and is fully functional for a vast majority of requirements. Bonitasoft has very good publicly available documentation that helps you get started, an area for contributions where you can find different connectors, widgets, and examples, and a good forum for questions and answers.

Any company wanting to automate business projects will have a very positive experience with the Bonita platform.
