Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."
"In my environment, if I want to shut down all tools in one shot, I can create a workflow and run the workflow to shut down all tools in one go."
"Four years ago, we created a new department for automation, and today the organization has a lot of trust in us and we are placed in each strategic architecture, everybody knows us, trusts us, and is happy to work with us, and we are problem solvers and the innovation robo team."
"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."
"Time savings with automation. We've gone from weeks to deploy systems to minutes."
"It is easier to manage all the servers, and you can automate processes at one time for all these types of servers, which is very useful."
"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."
"The ease of use is most valuable."
"The centralization of the administration is what's most valuable for us."
 

Cons

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"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."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"We have used technical support and we've had our ups and downs with them."
"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."
"Simple things are missing – being unable to easily capture flow inputs in an automated fashion is one (I shouldn’t have to write an SQL query for this)."
"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."
"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."
"I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."
"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."
