Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration

Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.

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.

IT Solution Architect at a government with 10,001+ employees

Open-source, easy to define new processes, and easy to transition to new business process definitions

We're trying to put the people from the business to do it. We are using APIs, and we have open APIs to define our APIs and the request-response that each call requires and sends. So, to base the mapping on that, there was nothing to help. I know that with some tools, such as Oracle tools, you can see the input and expected output. With drag and drop, you can take one property from the left and drag it to the right, and it does all the mapping itself, but that's not the case with Camunda. So, for me, this is something that can be improved. If you stick to the basics, it can be pretty easy. If you need to extend, as we did with custom plugins, this is rather hard because the documentation is not that great. Everything is there. It is an open-source tool, and we had access to classes and documentation, but there was no great explanation on how to use them. There were also not many examples. It was pretty hard to go this way, but if you stick with the basic functionality, it is a great and easy tool. Another thing that we struggled with has already been fixed. They now offer a SaaS version of Camunda. We struggled a little bit with how to deploy Camunda in our infrastructure. The way it was designed was that the database can easily become a performance bottleneck. It is something that they could improve. They can provide more examples of how to implement a scalable solution using Camunda.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand."

"Very, very stable."

"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the process modeling part and process simulation."

"It is open source."

"The user interface is pretty good."

"Bizagi is simple. It's simple to learn."

"Very user friendly and a professional solution."

More Bizagi pros

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

"Development of forms and flows."

"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"The user interface is easy to use."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

More Bonita pros

"The use of Java is a big plus for our intern developers, and Camunda scales well, as many of our departments are already using it in production with dedicated teams."

"It has an open BPM"

"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."

"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."

"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."

"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."

"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."

"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."

More Camunda pros

Cons

"We have migrated to the cloud, but there are a lot of issues while integrating with the cloud. There are a lot of things to improve with the cloud and reporting. We were previously working with on-premise solutions, and we had access to a lot of things, but with the cloud, they changed a lot of functionalities. Some of the things we know, but with some of the things, we are having difficulties."

"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."

"The solution was very limited."

"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."

"Cloud support for their process mapping tool could be better. To map all your processes in any way and call your data, you need to download their on-premise setup or their desktop setup. Cloud support for process mapping is limited, and they should work on that."

"In terms of what needs improvement, the costs can be lowered."

"One part of the university has changed its regular desktops to Linux. This is a weak point because Bizagi doesn't run on Linux. I would like the opportunity to run the software inside of Linux."

"There is no direct scalability option. We can install the same, and using a load balancer, we can improve the scalability features."

More Bizagi cons

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

More Bonita cons

"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."

"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."

"It has a Postgres database at the backend, and it is very difficult to scale if you increase the number of processes running. We did hit some barriers. We were able to overcome them, but it was a problem. Camunda has another product called Camunda Cloud, which supposedly doesn't have the same scalability problems, but we are not using Camunda Cloud because the set of features is smaller than Camunda On-Premises. So, its scalability can be improved. Because it has a single database, it is more difficult to scale if you have a huge success."

"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."

"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."

"We're trying to put the people from the business to do it. We are using APIs, and we have open APIs to define our APIs and the request-response that each call requires and sends. So, to base the mapping on that, there was nothing to help. I know that with some tools, such as Oracle tools, you can see the input and expected output. With drag and drop, you can take one property from the left and drag it to the right, and it does all the mapping itself, but that's not the case with Camunda. So, for me, this is something that can be improved."

"The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added."

More Camunda cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I used to be very pleased with the pricing. Now, it's a bit more complicated. I don't remember exactly, however, it might be $10 a month per user."

"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."

"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."

"It has a very high price. Many clients complain about the price for maintaining the application on Bizagi."

"The price could be lower."

"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."

"I think that its price is reasonable."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"We have an annual subscription to this solution."

"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."

"We use a community version."

"The open-source version of the product is free to use."

"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."

"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."

"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
