Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"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."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Development of forms and flows."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
"We promote the use of this product because it's integrated and has a very nicely designed program, simplifying our workflow and the workflow of our clients, which saves time and money for everyone while making us more productive."
 

Cons

"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"I would like for them to incorporate artificial intelligence and be more intuitive."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"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 Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
