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.
AB
Administrator at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Supports process modeling and customization but needs better reporting flexibility and UI improvements
As an administrator, I would improve MEGA HOPEX by adding a WYSIWYG feature for building reports, which would be very helpful. Additionally, I would want reporting customization from the front end web application, not only from the Windows app, which is the customizer. If all changes could be made in the web application, that would be beneficial because every time we need to request access to the server, it takes time in large organizations and involves multiple levels of approvals from cybersecurity and IT security, which can block the project. Regarding dashboards in MEGA HOPEX, they could definitely be better. Having something similar to ARIS would make it easier to build dashboards, providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience, allowing me to drag and drop elements, configure them, and test queries. Moreover, RFQL language is not common, so in MEGA HOPEX, I need to learn RFQL querying. In terms of additional features for MEGA HOPEX, I would appreciate more features for workflows. There are limitations in customizing the email notifications sent during workflows. When creating a workflow, I can configure actions and customize the text, but not the header and footer. Therefore, all emails from the tool come with a MEGA HOPEX header. In large organizations like BPM COE, we want to have our own logo, header, and footer in those emails, but this is not configurable, which I find limiting. I would appreciate easier features to customize workflows and create workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"Development of forms and flows."
"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."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system."
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of HOPEX's meta-model. It's a strong meta-model that's rigid but comprehensive. It's a logical fit for our understanding of how we want things modeled in our database."
"As a business and process analyst, I found the Mega Process module very powerful."
"The dashboard on the homepage makes for an enhanced view at a glance of the various work functions applicable to the user."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"The solution itself was easy to use."
"Traceability across architecture domains - business architecture and data technology - can connect the dots and provide an end-to-end view of the architecture landscape, which is one of the powerful strengths of the tool."
 

Cons

"The dashboard has limited features."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The data layer might be the weakest point for MEGA HOPEX."
"The product must improve integration with other tools."
"Overall rating: 7-8 (out of 10). Stability is one shortfall and it's probably the major one."
"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."
"The interface must be improved."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"This solution is stable for the end-users; however, it is not stable on the development side."
"To be honest, it is not the best support that I have seen in my career."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I've been told that MEGA HOPEX is very expensive, which is why small organizations dismiss the tool. It's complex and costly versus other simpler and cheaper solutions."
"It is very expensive."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"The product is reasonably priced for the value it offers. There's a good balance between cost and features."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
"If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too expensive."
"The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive. The license key for business process analysis and IT architecture is approximately €10,000. This price is fixed, it's not a subscription or cloud-based version. It is a one-time price."
"The product has a high cost."
