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.

It allows us to quickly develop some basic applications or solutions to replace existing ones. An improvement I'd suggest is the ability to customize the look and feel of the system.
It's allowed us to quickly develop some basic applications or solutions to replace existing ones I think it's a good tool to use as a stepping stone. I can use the spreadsheets with something basic where they can keep track of all the information in a central location and control it with access…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"Development of forms and flows."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"The user interface is easy to 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."
"Intellect stood out primarily because of its scalability and the ease of development."
"The value that Intellect BPM Platform in comparison to the other products that are out there, while still allowing you to provide very effective BPM applications, is huge."
"Increased number of patients' participation by 300% in one year, and increased the number of providers 10 to 50."
"Every time that I look to use the tool, there's an easily identifiable return on investment, and that's due to a couple different things."
"It can save you tons of time building fairly complex systems, but initially obviously you need to understand how the system is set up and what kind of drag-and-drop features you have and where exactly those features are located."
"The most valuable feature for us is the workflow aspect of it because it's extremely powerful and completely flexible."
"It's allowed us to quickly develop some basic applications or solutions to replace existing ones."
"The product is very powerful; you can automate any business process at any level of complexity, integrate with other solutions, send notifications, and generate any type of reports."
 

Cons

"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"When we began using it in 2007, we had some stability issues with the very early implementations, which were partly due to the platform and partly because it was a custom application."
"Charting capability. Provide additional chart types and dimensions, and to allow more flexibility when using charts."
"One of the areas that I'd like to see improved, or actually it could be added in, is integration with some of the other platforms."
"The stability has gotten better, especially with the new releases of version 8, but there are some inconsistencies that happen because the product is so robust."
"There were times that it was fairly unstable."
"I think their help feature is significantly PDF-based; I would love it to be more search-based and context-based and give sensitive results."
"We've had issues with deployment, but more so with the upgrades."
"The full HTML five support is key for us, so that we can start to utilize it outside of more than just in our standard browsers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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 Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
