Featured Reviews

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.
Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer

The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available. There are ready-made workflows, integration with other products, a nice user interface, and reporting. The tool is flexible, agent-based or agentless. It allows significant automation and has robust orchestration and reporting capabilities. It is easy to configure and use, leading to increased efficiency across our IT processes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications."
"This tool addresses all our disparate capabilities, bringing all those systems together, so we have been able to orchestrate per product and tie those things together to automate processes that were manual in the past, allowing us to turn around systems a lot quicker and in a repeatable way."
"We have reduced the amount of time it would take to resolve an incident or to send an escalation to a customer, and it has saved us many man hours."
"It has made the implementation of our IT software policies faster."
"The ease of use is most valuable."
"It’s saved 100’s of man hours monthly."
"This solution enables the automation of workflow."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the sustainability and the simplicity around the usage."
"It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options."
 

Cons

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."
"From 1 – 10 – I think HP is about a 4. Support can be slow and frustrating."
"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced. Whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues."
"However, if we need help with a problem on our own, it's difficult to get the right support."
"Customer service is one of those areas that definitely needs to be improved. 3.5 out of 10 Technical Support: Needs improvement."
"If you're running it in a Windows environment, you're tied to the inefficiency and quirkiness of Windows."
"But what I would like are more functionalities around code release."
"There are automation tools out there that are more unified -- network, database, servers. Operations Orchestration doesn't do everything and you need to buy other components for other tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."
"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
