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.

Automation has transformed banking workflows and drives custom process optimization
Based on my six years of experience, I see that Studio Creatio is continuously improving its workflows, materials, and capabilities. I still see potential improvements in certain areas. For example, some capabilities that the system does not have need to be identified so that customers are aware of what is not possible. The system should be designed to allow customers to connect with any system seamlessly rather than just through marketplace applications. It should have the capability to connect with any other system without limitation, as in some projects, while it was able to connect with 100 other systems, there were one, two, or a few that were not compatible. Regarding needed improvements, with respect to use cases and documentation, more comprehensive use cases and in-depth scenarios covering real business situations and solutions are definitely needed. Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app. The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly. Something new in this area is necessary.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"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."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Whenever you need a new feature, you can build on top of your session."
"Studio Creatio is a very good and complete solution. It is very stable, and for customers who need a good response time, in the public cloud, Creatio provides the possibility to have a private server for a high level of transactions and good response time. Their support is great. They are very good, and they know the solution very well. Their response time is also great."
"Studio Creatio is a business automation platform and is very versatile, as it can automate most of the management processes that you come across on a day-to-day basis in your corporation."
"To have the ability to truly customize and build every internal process just the way our organization prefers."
"The most valuable feature of Studio Creatio is the ease of providing change for our customers, and Creatio also provides us with scalability, performance and agility."
"For example, in the banking sector, I optimized a system that was processing 50 applications per day to be 100% automated, with only delivery requiring human intervention, ultimately achieving processing 500 to 600 cards per day, up from 50 to 60 applications, fully automated with minimal human intervention except when delivery was needed."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code and no-code platform."
"Studio Creatio is a CRM product with offerings for service management, marketing, and sales management, along with some GenAI offerings."
 

Cons

"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 price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"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."
"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."
"Sometimes there is good information available on the internet, and you can find a lot of tutorials and information on Studio Creatio, but it can feel confusing when searching for specific information."
"I would rate customer support a 4 on a scale from 1 to 10 because there is no support available unless it is through a consultancy that we hire, and there is not Studio Creatio's own local support in my region."
"HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve."
"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."
"I would rate the customer support for Studio Creatio a five out of ten."
"Numerous options can make implementation confusing."
"For processes that require logical thinking and are highly complex with less structured flows, I would rate it a six out of ten because Studio Creatio does not excel at logical thinking, which is the key difference."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"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 Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"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 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."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"It is fairly competitive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"From my standpoint, it blows out of the water all the other competitors out there that we were potentially looking at, and it was in a reasonable price range, whereas you have these other Fortune 500 companies that were asking for a ridiculous amount."
