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

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"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."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"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."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"The support team responds fast."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"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."
"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."
"The user interface is very, very good."
 

Cons

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"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."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"Installation could be made easier."
"When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"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 is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"The license is very expensive."
"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."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
