Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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
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

"Bonita is user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"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."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"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."
"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"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 is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"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."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"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."
"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"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 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."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"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."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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."
"The product costs $15 per user per month."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"The license is very expensive."
