Digitalization PM at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Architect at Evoke
A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."

"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
 

Cons

"One thing they could improve is the manual."

"There are just some things in the new product that are not really functional issues but improvements that BIC will have to make."
"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

"There is a considerable learning curve."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
