Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Automation workflows have saved time and have reduced manual work for my client projects
Most of what I learned about Make is mainly from the templates only. Anything that I tried to do, I try to see who has done it already and try to understand and rebuild it. When I'm trying to build some workflows, there's a chatbot component. When I ask for something, it helps me in that. Or if I get a bug that I'm finding difficult to debug or understand the use case or the log, it clearly explains it to me and sometimes it advises me to do certain things, so that it's easy for me to fix it. One area for improvement is an auto-building feature. Another is how n8n has a chatbot completion where you can bring some LLMs into the workflow and integrating Ollama and all of that is something I felt is really needed for Make also.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"Make saves me roughly forty-five percent to sixty percent of time since the analysis part and solution are provided below the question."
"Make has positively impacted my organization by reducing our manual workflow and workload by almost twenty to thirty percent, which I feel is great."
"Make has positively impacted my organization by enabling me to generate numerous leads because it is easy to implement, which allowed me to drastically reduce the time needed to create and present a minimum viable product to clients."
"This has made a very positive impact on my life because initially I was not able to do things quickly and efficiently, but now with the help of Make, I can plan many things that help my work become efficient."
"Instead of spending several days implementing and testing API integrations inside our FastAPI back end, I was able to build the workflows in a few hours using Make."
"Make has helped me save my time, and time is money, so obviously, eventually it has helped me save my money as well."
"Make has positively impacted my organization by reducing the number of hours that go into validating and verifying the flow of a particular repetitive process, which would otherwise take multiple hours, to just a few minutes to review for more than 1,000 or 2,000 case scenarios."
"The new AI feature that Make has launched is really amazing."
 

Cons

"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"Make can enhance the credit limit for free use because what is happening now is that most of the credits have been used during testing only."
"I feel that Make can be improved in terms of API handling and integrations."
"Make can be improved in terms of the code module, as sometimes I use it at a developer level, and I want it to be more specific; when using the webhook, some data structures may require a lot of time to organize, so if a code node is available, it would help me structure data effectively."
"Actually, I did not finish this project with Make; I could not manage to finish the full workflow, and I decided to leave it as it is, implementing it a different way because it is very tricky."
"One area that needs improvement is the debugging and monitoring."
"Pricing is definitely something that is on a higher tier where we are consuming around 1.5 to 2 million operations per month, which makes the bill quite substantial."
"I was talking about dark mode because it feels irritating when working in dark places."
"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 Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The Community Edition comes 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 price of Make is approximately $20 per month for the platform."
