    Chose Bonita Platform
    We liked Bonita's architecture, the open-source framework, and the licensing and support model. Maybe fewer features than other BPM platforms but easier to implement and maintain.

    Chose Bonita Platform
    Bonita has a community version, open-source, so it´s easy to test the benefits of process automation for any enterprise. Bonita Platform is also very near to Java architecture, so the learning curve for developers is not difficult, and they only need to understand how processes …

    Chose Bonita Platform
    • Better price
    • Community package with free evaluation package so you can test main functionalities of a BPM tool
    • Subscription packages are great but are not an impediment to accomplish a task or a whole process in Bonita Business Process Management

    Bizagi
    Permits dependence reduction on external IT suppliers, maximum value extraction from large/legacy systems, and business and IT collaboration. For big Companies, while an enterprise should expect to face a lot of difficulties, thus increasing the learning curve, while dealing with the platform's rollout the timeline to deploy is extensive.

    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.

    • Bonita seems particularly suited for processes requiring a great deal of human interaction. Its user model allows you to control access to business processes in a fine-grained way. This allows for business processes to move smoothly between users and services as the process advances.
    • The definition and usage of custom forms from the latest version of Bonita seems particularly powerful. It allows for a thorough customization of the look-and-feel and does not require complex developments.
    • The web interface and administration section have greatly improved in the latest versions. Installation and configuration of processes has become more flexible and more structured. The administration section gives a good view on failed processes, allowing to analyse problems in an efficient way.

    • Some minor things to improve but works pretty well. If you have an idea to improve Bizagi Modeler, you can post it on the Bizagi forum, and maybe, in a next release, you will find it realized. Yes, it happened to me.

    • There is a learning curve beyond the boot camps that needs to be addressed with more structured curriculum.
    • The full stack technologies are industry standard, but these [are] challenging to learn and could use a learning path and orientation. There's probably opportunity for third-parties here to help with learning and adoption.

    Usability

    It is applicable in any complex process scenario- regardless of company function. Though it is very useful and customizable, it is best to be deployed by a centralized team or experts in BPMN and coding, as all of the customizing options can quickly overwhelm any citizien developer and lead to harmful results

    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.

    Performance

    Engine itself is efficient enough for most cases I dealt with. It can also be extended by clustering. I have done performance tests with JMeter and only managed to induce the crash of... JMeter. If there are efficiency issues they usually concern bad design/implementation of created apps or bottlenecks in integrated systems. Although I have met two cases with efficiency loss.
    1. Java 7 related PermGen saturation caused by big number of installed apps (there is no jar dependency reusal between apps option).
    2. Big number of waiting event handlers in processes stresses the database.

    The pricing/value proposition of the product compared to its competitors is very competitive.
    The cost is reasonable, especially for what you get, and especially for this software segment.

    RHPAM is maybe a very good BPM process engine but is very limited to build a complete application.
    We also try site soft W4 which needs more developments to build an application. We finally choose Bonita which is easier to get ready with.

    Respect of BPMN standard over the long term. Good enhancements by Bonitasoft for new use cases, for example the introduction of a real form editor even if it has been technically difficult to manage. Once done though, we have far greater possibility of human interaction.

    • Case management provided as better tracking which help us to meet SLAs.
    • Auto email notification helps to address "Where are my request" answers which eventually increased our customer delight index.
    • By using the third-party integration, we are able to provide visibility w.r.t end to end request status.
