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 really enjoy using the workflow 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."
"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."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"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."
"OpenText 360 for SharePoint significantly saves time for users by streamlining the tasks of handling, searching, and maintaining documents compared to traditional file servers."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"In the future, I would like to see new features in SharePoint for improved project tracking processes."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"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."
"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."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"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."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"It has a reasonable price."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"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"
"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."
