Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Bonita and OpenText MBPM compete in the business process management category. Bonita seems to have the upper hand in ease of customization and cost-effectiveness, while OpenText MBPM leads in robust feature offerings and extensive integration capabilities for complex enterprise environments.

Features: Bonita offers flexibility with its low-code development and dynamic business process modeling. It allows rapid deployment and easy customization. OpenText MBPM provides a strong set of features, including integration with extensive enterprise systems, advanced analytics, and robust reporting capabilities. The primary difference rests in Bonita’s user-friendly customization options compared to OpenText MBPM’s advanced analytic abilities.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Bonita allows quick deployment with comprehensive documentation and a supportive community, which suits businesses looking to get started rapidly. OpenText MBPM, while offering a more tailored deployment with dedicated customer support, may lead to longer setup times but aligns thoroughly with existing enterprise systems. This makes it suited to larger enterprises that prioritize tailored integration.

Pricing and ROI: Bonita has a more affordable cost structure, offering a substantial ROI through reduced development time and adaptable licensing options. In contrast, OpenText MBPM has higher initial setup costs, offset by its advanced features that can yield significant long-term ROI for large-scale deployments. Budget constraints or long-term benefits influence the decision, depending on the complex needs of comprehensive process management.

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.

Jaideep MS

Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation

I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

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."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"The user interface is easy to use."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

More Bonita pros

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."

Cons

"Installation could be made easier."

"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."

"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."

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."

"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."

More Bonita cons

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."

"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

"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."

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

"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."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."

"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
