Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"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."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"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."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Four years ago, we created a new department for automation, and today the organization has a lot of trust in us and we are placed in each strategic architecture, everybody knows us, trusts us, and is happy to work with us, and we are problem solvers and the innovation robo team."
"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."
"The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available."
"We have reduced the amount of time it would take to resolve an incident or to send an escalation to a customer, and it has saved us many man hours."
"In my environment, if I want to shut down all tools in one shot, I can create a workflow and run the workflow to shut down all tools in one go."
"This tool addresses all our disparate capabilities, bringing all those systems together, so we have been able to orchestrate per product and tie those things together to automate processes that were manual in the past, allowing us to turn around systems a lot quicker and in a repeatable way."
"It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options."
"This solution basically does everything that we need it to do."
 

Cons

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"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 main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"In order for our customers to have a deeper integration of Operations Orchestration, it needs to be offered with more cloud options, whether that's public or private or hybrid."
"However, if we need help with a problem on our own, it's difficult to get the right support."
"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."
"I would like to see a bit more in the UX. It needs to be a bit more up-to-date."
"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced. Whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues."
"If you're running it in a Windows environment, you're tied to the inefficiency and quirkiness of Windows."
"We have had some issues with memory usage, but that's something that we beefed up and made the system more robust."
"I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"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."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"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 cost is very high compared to anything else available."
"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."
