Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
SangameshwarKadole - PeerSpot reviewer
A reasonably stable BPM solution useful for process governance and process mining
The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings. The web modeling part can be a bit complex or difficult for new users of the solution. Simplifying the look and feel to make the web modeling part easy to use can greatly improve iGrafx.

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."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Development of forms and flows."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"The solution's technical support is of good quality since they offer fast and seamless services."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"The solution is very stable."
"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"Simulation is most valuable."
 

Cons

"There is a considerable learning curve."
"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 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."
"Installation could be made easier."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"The price could be more competitive."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
