    Chose Bonita Platform
    I found Bonita BPM a more friendly environment, especially when it comes to front-end development. It is also better suited for a gradual introduction to an organization - PoC with Community edition, later upgrade to one of the subscription editions as needed. Tibco's product …

    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 scenario where TIBCO ActiveMatrix is well suited is in the scenario where there are more long-term business processes and in a complex corporate organization where there are many users with different privileges to perform actions on the same processes. It's less appropriate where there are no complex business process especially if the resubmit of the task in error is not required.

    Pros
    Bonitasoft
    • 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.

    • TIBCO offers multiple ways to implement the sophisticated forms of event-driven BPM. It also balances the combination of business rules and AMX BPM for a different variety of IT Applications
    • It depends on the Enterprise service bus which is message oriented middleware
    • The integration of Spotfire with AMXBPM and BusinessEvents is a unique advantage

    Cons
    Bonitasoft
    • 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.

    • A little bit too conservative. Not really anything leading edge. [Tibco] has plenty of customers, and that means they will probably be around forever, but [product enhancements] seem to be more [abundant in competitor product offerings].
    • It would be great to have some pre-defined themes. Pie chart labels - it would be great to get more options for sizing and placement.
    • I find it hard to trust the online portal too much. I doubt the security that is offered by this software.

    Usability
    Bonitasoft
    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
    Bonitasoft
    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.

    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.

    For BPM we looked at some IBM products suites, BPM Online, Oracle products and Pega Systems. The decision to go with AMX BPM was based on the evaluation by the software architect team and the cost of acquiring the TIBCO suites.

    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.

    • In order to create a BPM management, you need to make a very solid data management model, which becomes very important in its reuse
    • The business process is very often unconnected with the implementation logic and therefore plays in favor of the re-usability of the software
    • Large customization at log level for which managing these tools can be handled minimizing effort
