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:

More Bonita pros

"All the features come as part of a standard license."

Cons

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

"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."

"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."

"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 considerable learning curve."

More Bonita cons

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."

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
