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.

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.

"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."

More KiSSFLOW pros

Cons

"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."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."

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

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

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

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

More Bonita cons

"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."

"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."

"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."

"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."

"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."

"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."

"The integration between forms should be made easier."

"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

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

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

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."

"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 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."

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
