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.

An affordable cloud solution for automation and data manipulation

Make has a single IP. We cannot use a single IP because of the security. There are a lot of crashes when you work manually. Also, they need to provide more models. When you have an error, Make should inform them with guidance before you make the mistake. There is a lot of data you can confuse.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Development of forms and flows."

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

"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 solution is easy to use."

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"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."

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

More Bonita pros

"The most valuable features of Make are the additional options when compared to other similar solutions. For example, with Google my business, you can only do certain things with Zapier, whereas with Make, you can do a little bit more."

Cons

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."

"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."

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

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

"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."

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

More Bonita cons

"Make could improve the ease of use, it can be more complicated than other solutions. There are a lot of elements that are more technical than in other solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"The price of Make is approximately $20 per month for the platform."
