Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."

"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

More Bonita pros

"It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."

"This tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests."

Cons

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."

"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."

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."

"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."

More Bonita cons

"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."

"OCR capability should be added as a feature."

"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."

"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

"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."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."

"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."

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."

"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
