Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Handles large data volumes effectively and offers competitive pricing
There is a lot of improvement required, as we still face some cache issues most of the time, which is a challenge that we expect to see resolved in the future. Additionally, there is some limitation when we are working with a tool, especially regarding In and Out parameters, and I feel that this aspect should be improved going ahead. We face issues with the API side, as Cloud Application Integration cannot handle large volumes; according to the API page, there is a limitation of 500 records or 500 MB. The AI integrated into the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services solution is called Application Integration, where we still face challenges when dealing with huge volumes, as previously explained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"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."
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
"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."
"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."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"You can extract and transfer your data as you wish it to be consumed later."
"The Informatica MDM tool provided a very robust and cost effective solution to implement a single view of physicians."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"The solution's initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The solution is applicable for both technical and business users."
"I am impressed by the solution's interface."
"The out-of-the-box features and standard profiling options provide quick visibility of the data within minutes, which facilitates discussions with the business."
"Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services offers a wide variety of services, including Cloud Data Integration, which is akin to a replica of PowerCenter on the cloud. I particularly like the mass ingestion service."
 

Cons

"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"Installation could be made easier."
"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."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
"We have seen stability issues with older versions, particularly 6.x and below."
"Informatica MDM has limitations with connectivity."
"Informatica Axon needs more integration connectors so that it can connect to systems and different kinds of datasets."
"The tools required to migrate existing mappings and server rules through cloud data quality are not available."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"The cloud version of Informatica, although easier and more advanced than PowerCenter, still requires a deep dive to fix bugs."
"By improving customer service integration solutions development implementation style."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"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."
"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's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its pricing model can be improved."

"Informatica MDM recently changed its pricing model. It's usage-based but I don't have much insight into the current pricing."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"We are quite happy with the licensing model."
