bonitasoft bpm vs jBPM vs Activiti

Question

I am evaluating BPM offerings to be used within our application. I wanted to find out

1. the differences between Bonitasoft / jBPM and Activiti
2. Some of these

Answer 1

I was also having the same confusion about BPM selection. Now I am done with my research and going with Activiti.

Key points:

• It's really easy to start working on it. It can be deployed in most commonly used server Apache Tomcat.
• It provides couple or war files like activiti-explorer and activiti-rest for deployment. REST APIs are clear and focused. You can download the same from download activiti.
• It's providing plugins for the Eclipse IDE to draw process diagram.
• The core development members of Activiti are from the same project of jBPM.

While working with jBPM, the designer and drools are not properly synchronized at times. Even the REST APIs are not so descriptive and clear.

BonitaSoft, as open source, lacks many important features. It's good if you are going for a licensed version of it.
