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

AB
Administrator at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Supports process modeling and customization but needs better reporting flexibility and UI improvements
As an administrator, I would improve MEGA HOPEX by adding a WYSIWYG feature for building reports, which would be very helpful. Additionally, I would want reporting customization from the front end web application, not only from the Windows app, which is the customizer. If all changes could be made in the web application, that would be beneficial because every time we need to request access to the server, it takes time in large organizations and involves multiple levels of approvals from cybersecurity and IT security, which can block the project. Regarding dashboards in MEGA HOPEX, they could definitely be better. Having something similar to ARIS would make it easier to build dashboards, providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience, allowing me to drag and drop elements, configure them, and test queries. Moreover, RFQL language is not common, so in MEGA HOPEX, I need to learn RFQL querying. In terms of additional features for MEGA HOPEX, I would appreciate more features for workflows. There are limitations in customizing the email notifications sent during workflows. When creating a workflow, I can configure actions and customize the text, but not the header and footer. Therefore, all emails from the tool come with a MEGA HOPEX header. In large organizations like BPM COE, we want to have our own logo, header, and footer in those emails, but this is not configurable, which I find limiting. I would appreciate easier features to customize workflows and create workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"I find the process modeling and value chain features valuable. The application portfolio management functionality and workflow management capabilities are also nice. It provides a holistic view for stakeholders and helps align IT with business strategies. It facilitates collaboration across the organization and covers all domains, including business, applications, technology, and data."
"It is very interactive."
"MEGA has different models and different disciplines, but perhaps for me, the best feature would be that it has one unique repository for all of them."
"The main benefit of Mega is the fact that you can link data from multiple enterprise architecture practices so that, for instance, business architecture artifacts can link to system architecture artifacts, and so you can get a more complete picture."
"The strength of MEGA HOPEX lies in its ability to customize the metamodel."
"It provides a central repository of all architecture artifacts as well as application inventory, has made it easier to do impact analysis, and is slowly becoming the authoritative source of current state application architecture."
"It generates friendly websites and presents specific views of the enterprise (business, functional, applicative, technological, and infrastructure)."
"The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so."
 

Cons

"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"The interface must be improved."
"The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive."
"The tool usability is weak and it also has a high learning curve."
"To be honest, it is not the best support that I have seen in my career."
"One thing certainly would help, if the industry is already going towards Cloud computing and big data, why is the product lagging behind in terms of those features? We lose out on time to market."
"Scalability can be a problem sometimes."
"I feel that there isn't enough time spent on conversation or knowledge sharing with the MEGA support team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"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."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive. The license key for business process analysis and IT architecture is approximately €10,000. This price is fixed, it's not a subscription or cloud-based version. It is a one-time price."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is very expensive."
"I've been told that MEGA HOPEX is very expensive, which is why small organizations dismiss the tool. It's complex and costly versus other simpler and cheaper solutions."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
"The price of the support depends on the vendors that are reselling this module or the MEGA HOPEX version 5. We are on premium support and are their only partners in the GCC, we have a premium support contract with them. The support we have is not with the client. The client does not bear the cost, it's us who bear the cost."
"The product has a high cost."
