Bonita

Bonita (developed by the French company Bonitasoft) is a highly aggressive, deeply technical disruptor because it is built on a highly extensible Open-Source architecture. While platforms like Appian and Pega lock a corporation into a massive, expensive, proprietary closed ecosystem, Bonita allows hardcore software engineers to literally look at and modify the underlying Java code of the BPM engine itself. It is highly favored by massive, complex European manufacturing and telecom companies who want the speed of a "Low-Code" visual workflow builder for the business analysts, but completely refuse to give up the absolute power of hardcore Java programming for the edge-case integrations that visual builders always fail at. Because it is open-source and highly developer-centric, it features incredible "CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment)" capabilities. A massive engineering team can build a complex workflow in Bonita, check it into GitHub, run automated testing scripts against it, and deploy it to a massive live server farm, treating the visual business process exactly like traditional, hardcore software development.
