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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."

"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."

"Development of forms and flows."

More Bonita pros

"Make's front-end interface, the modular interface that it has, drag-and-drop interface, is very easy to understand, use, and integrate."

"Make saves a lot of time, and I have created really complex scenarios in Make."

"Make's front-end interface, the modular interface that it has, drag-and-drop interface, is very easy to understand, use, and integrate."

"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

"Installation could be made easier."

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

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

"The dashboard has limited features."

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

"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."

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

More Bonita cons

"The pricing of Make at this point is through operations consumption, and it becomes really expensive in certain scenarios when iterations are involved."

"Make can be a bit difficult to use for new users, but for someone with technical knowledge and some coding skills, it becomes manageable, especially with Make's great UI features that really help."

"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."

"The pricing of Make at this point is through operations consumption, and it becomes really expensive in certain scenarios when iterations are involved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes 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."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

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

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