Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining
I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users.

The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.

"Development of forms and flows."

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"One of the weak points is that you can't just export so I'd like to see an improvement in exporting features."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"The dashboard has limited features."

"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
