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.

Enhances application integration with scalability, reliability, and security
Boomi AtomSphere Flow facilitates data availability across different departments, allowing our clients to generate diverse analytical reports that aid senior management in making informed decisions. The integration layer ensures data security, which is supported by Boomi's EDA and API management capabilities. The solution unites all these functions, preventing the need for separate products for specific operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"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."
"Boomi enhances application integration with scalability, reliability, and security."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is very easy to develop and maintain compared to other tools like SAP HANA Cloud Integration or Cloud Platform."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow gives us flexibility."
"The most valuable features include the ease of designing Boomi flows and the significant cost savings and reduced time to market they offer our clients."
"In the long run, if you have a good team, solution architect, and an architect from Boomi's side, then it is a good tool from an ROI perspective since it can help save money."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its core integration with Boomi AtomSphere because it's extremely easy to tap into any informational system of a company."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is integrated through APIs, it exposes the API and any product can call the APIs in the queue. Additionally, it is secure."
 

Cons

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"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 price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The development effort with Boomi AtomSphere Flow is more when you compare it with other tools, which is a drawback and an area of improvement."
"Boomi is not as flexible compared to other integration products like IBM's. For complex integration scenarios, Boomi could improve its flexibility."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. The whole solution is used through an interface and it could always be improved."
"Its stability could be improved."
"The solution's user interface building needs improvement."
"The technical support is rated around 6.5 to seven out of ten. It lacks clarity on how to reach out, write emails, or understand responsiveness."
"There is room for improvement in Boomi's AI capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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."
"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."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"When you use Boomi AtomSphere Flow in production, you have to pay for licenses. The solution is not expensive but it could be cheaper."
"Since its pricing positioning has a different construction with respect to its competitors, the solution is sometimes way more expensive and sometimes less expensive."
