Platform for documenting and modifying our processes
The tool was used for digital transformation. Our company operates in the automotive industry and needs a transition to digitalization. We utilize the BIC Platform for documenting and modifying our processes, as well as incorporating various elements such as KPIs. It serves as a fundamental tool for numerous aspects of our operations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I'm in awe of what the software can do."
"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."
"Company wide BPMS tool sustaining a long term quality management best practices to achieve the expected process maturity level but also cutting operation and maintenance costs related to the former tool in use"
"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."
"The product is easy to use."
"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
 

Cons

"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"One thing they could improve is the manual."
"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"There are just some things in the new product that are not really functional issues but improvements that BIC will have to make."
"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."

One of the things we like best about Bonita is that you can create without coding - it is a low-code platform. With Bonita, you can build the entire mechanism using the GUI, it’s that simple. You c...
