The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

It allows us to quickly develop some basic applications or solutions to replace existing ones. An improvement I'd suggest is the ability to customize the look and feel of the system.
It's allowed us to quickly develop some basic applications or solutions to replace existing ones I think it's a good tool to use as a stepping stone. I can use the spreadsheets with something basic where they can keep track of all the information in a central location and control it with access…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Development of forms and flows."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"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."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"The product is very powerful; you can automate any business process at any level of complexity, integrate with other solutions, send notifications, and generate any type of reports."
"I would say the Intellect product is probably one of the most straightforward set up I have been exposed to."
"Intellect stood out primarily because of its scalability and the ease of development."
"The value that Intellect BPM Platform in comparison to the other products that are out there, while still allowing you to provide very effective BPM applications, is huge."
"Every time that I look to use the tool, there's an easily identifiable return on investment, and that's due to a couple different things."
"The most valuable feature for us is the workflow aspect of it because it's extremely powerful and completely flexible."
"The ROI was significant; with time and material savings plus soft savings such as reduction in errors and improved service quality, the payback on investment was about one year."
"It can save you tons of time building fairly complex systems, but initially obviously you need to understand how the system is set up and what kind of drag-and-drop features you have and where exactly those features are located."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"Charting capability. Provide additional chart types and dimensions, and to allow more flexibility when using charts."
"We've had issues with deployment, but more so with the upgrades."
"When we began using it in 2007, we had some stability issues with the very early implementations, which were partly due to the platform and partly because it was a custom application."
"I think their help feature is significantly PDF-based; I would love it to be more search-based and context-based and give sensitive results."
"There were times that it was fairly unstable."
"The stability has gotten better, especially with the new releases of version 8, but there are some inconsistencies that happen because the product is so robust."
"One of the areas that I'd like to see improved, or actually it could be added in, is integration with some of the other platforms."
"The full HTML five support is key for us, so that we can start to utilize it outside of more than just in our standard browsers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"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."
"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."
