Overall Satisfaction with Bonita Platform

I used Bonita to make a proof of concept for a new application for one of our client. It will be used to handle tax declarations.
It will replace an existing purpose-built application that is old and un-upgradable. It will also give the client way more control over its processes and workflows.
  • Great customization possibilities
  • Gives many ways to handle a problem
  • Great community
  • Some areas of the interface are older than others
  • The SQL connectors are a bit awkward to use (you have to click a significant amount of time before getting to the SQL commands)
  • It was a proof of concept, so not much to say there

Do you think Bonita Platform delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Bonita Platform's feature set?

Yes

Did Bonita Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Bonita Platform go as expected?

No

Would you buy Bonita Platform again?

Yes

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
Very easy to connect the engine to anything, via connectors or the REST API
IntelliJ IDEA, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan)
It is very suited if you want to have many users doing tasks in many different processes, while having different roles and that you want to see the state of all those cases live.
If you just have a few users, no real tasks partition and no need to know the state of all cases at all time, Bonita can be a little overkill
