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.
Julius Jagdon - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Tools at Motorola Solutions
The tool is intuitive to use and, through automation, has been a real time-saver
When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user. For example, our RSN needs to approve the ticket first before it's moved to the next person rather than having them all grouped. It would be better if we could see all the tickets grouped at the same time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"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."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"The flexibility and speed in modifying and creating processes are great features. If we have a process in mind, we can usually create it within ten minutes."
"I like the forms which help us to get information."
"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"The ease of use is great; the user interface is very, very good, and the creation of process forms is very simple while offering a good amount of detail that can be captured."
 

Cons

"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"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."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."
 

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 price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used 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 believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"The license is very expensive."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"Kissflow's licensing cost is lower than other products. However, the contract has changed with the second version they have given us, which is the low-code one."
