Bonita vs Lucidchart comparison

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

"The user interface is easy to use."

"Development of forms and flows."

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

"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 easy to use."

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."

"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."

"It is important that Lucidchart accommodates both Mac and PC users because if you support Mac, that means you also support the mobile applications on the iPad... Some of the other employees have access to an iPad, but not all of them do. When we're trying to talk through a process with them on-the-fly, or at the point of occurrence, it's so much nicer if we can both have it up on the iPad. That's why I would say the Mac support is essential."

"Easy to work on."

"One of the features that I really like is the collaboration aspect of it. During the pandemic, it's very important that we're able to collaborate virtually."

"The most valuable features are the different templates that they have already created, as well as all the different shapes you can use in the process charts because each shape stands for a different element or thing that's being done. It's easy to distinguish between different steps using the already set-out shapes."

"Lucidchart enables me to put down on paper what I was visualizing in my head. It makes it more shareable than only using words."

"It gives information about the roles and responsibilities of any architecture system and the exact system flow, business flow, or process flow. It also gives information about how the development team should take it forward. It shows the gap analysis in the flow charts and makes it easy to define the actor and his roles and responsibilities in the organization."

"The interface is really good and it is very easy to use."

"Ease of use is especially critical because if I am conducting brainstorming sessions with my team, I have to be able to quickly put things on the monitor so that I don't lose their attention and focus. Ease of use is definitely helpful when I do that... The fact that I don't get lost within the software and am able to quickly generate visuals onscreen, so that it doesn't break the momentum, is a huge win."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"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."

"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."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"Installation could be made easier."

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

"When my colleague initially tried to edit the file that I shared with him, he had some trouble. This is something that should be improved."

"It might already exist and I haven't used it, but in terms of improvement, I would like a hot-key system for some of the diagrams to auto-generate things a bit quicker to be able to produce charts a lot faster, or have more standard templates that you can just go to if you're trying to generate something quickly."

"If it could be a little more visual, in terms of being able to make it stand out a little bit more, then that would be helpful."

"I am not quite sure what different functionalities it provides as well as the difficulties other people are facing. When I have a better understanding of the solution, I will increase my rating of it. No solution is perfect, so I am sure that I will be facing some problems in the future."

"When you want to add text to a connector arrow, I have not figured out how to position the text vertically. It always wants the text to stay horizontal."

"As far as I know, LucidChart can’t be automated with Visual Basic .Net like Visio."

"What I do find extremely frustrating is that when I've sent the sheet to non-license holders, you have to create an account. You create a username and password. The path taken to create that account is so confusing that everyone thinks that they have to give their credit card number, and then they're reluctant. They don't want to go through the sheet."

"The UML diagram that it gave me initially was a huge flow with a bunch of UML tables, and I wasn't going to need that many. If it was a more simple linkage between the tables then it would be easier to finish projects, instead of having to select unnecessary tables and delete them."

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

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

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

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

"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."

"Pricing comes in at about $100 for a year's subscription, which is very reasonable if this is a tool that you will use more than once."

"I have only used the trial version and have not yet paid for it, or explored the pricing options."

"Its pricing is very affordable and reasonable for the features that it provides. I am using its basic plan, and for my usage, it is perfectly reasonable. It suits perfectly."

"The pricing is very reasonable, and they have a free trial available that you can play with."

"The licensing is pretty cost-effective but I haven't considered it on an enterprise level."

"The pricing and licensing are fine, though I wish they didn't require you to buy the licenses in batches of five."

"Pricing-wise, it is pretty fair. I don't really know what group pricing looks like, but right now, I pay $10 a month for my Lucid subscription. One thing I would say is that I do worry about my bosses being okay with paying $10 a month for every single employee because we would have around 20 people. It makes me a little nervous about whether they are going to pay $200 a month for people to be able to use this software. At the same time, from where I'm sitting, it's totally worth it. We save a thousand dollars from using this software. It's still a no-brainer."

"I had a quick glimpse of it. It was about 100 Canadian Dollars a year for just me. I don't know if there are any additional costs."
