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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

"The user interface is easy to use."

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."

"Development of forms and flows."

More Bonita pros

"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."

"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."

"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."

Cons

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

"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."

"Installation could be made easier."

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"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."

More Bonita cons

"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."

"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."

"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 price of the solution is reasonable."

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."

"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."

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
