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

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"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 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."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"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."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
 

Cons

"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to 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."
"The GUI should be improved for better user experience. Additionally, while there are standard connectors for automation and approvals in Power Platform, some tasks still need to be handled with API request calls instead of direct connectors, which could be improved."
"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."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"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."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"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."
"It has a reasonable price."
