Pros:

Flowable has a very good and flexible engine. There is so much feature about business management. Besides of this there is CMMN, IDM, DMN supports and features. There is included user management system. For backend, flowable has very flexible api.

Cons:

Flowable is weak for cluster systems with 1 database. Because flowable works with periodic sql queries from the database. If you have more than 1 flowable instance, you must consider this. If wrong flowable instance gets your process or job, it will be fail.
