Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is easy to use."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"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."
"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."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"Overall, I would rate OpenText 360 for SharePoint as ten."
"The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
"OpenText 360 for SharePoint significantly saves time for users by streamlining the tasks of handling, searching, and maintaining documents compared to traditional file servers."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"OpenText 360 for SharePoint integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing me to monitor and manage projects and task issues using mobile devices."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance. The solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet."
"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible."
 

Cons

"Installation could be made easier."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"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."
"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."
"Sometimes there are unexpected service outages. Though these situations are rare, I want to highlight that in case of any outage in the services, because everything is located in SharePoint, there is a chance that reports start failing or dashboards fail, or the system behaves differently."
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"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 is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"It has a reasonable price."
"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
