Featured Reviews

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.
Ahmed-Ragab - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior DevOps & Release Management Engineer at EBC
Facilitates task management with effective approval processes and modern integration capabilities
It facilitates processes by sending notifications to relevant individuals who need to take action regarding requests. There is a very good approval hierarchy in place. Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests. It is also easy to integrate with many other tools, like Nintex and Azure DevOps, using APIs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."
"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."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"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."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."
"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
 

Cons

"The dashboard has limited features."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"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."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
