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.
Patel Dhulva - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Firmware Engineer at Kohler Co.
Streamlined workflows have automated tasks and supported real-time collaboration on projects
I consider Pipefy's mobile app to be one of the best features because it helps me use it on the go, and I do not have to miss any notifications. I also love the real-time communication between team members, which makes collaboration much easier than using traditional design documents. It has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface where it was easy to get started and use complex features without feeling overwhelmed. The real-time communication and mobile app features are valuable for my work because with Pipefy's mobile app, I can use it on the go, so I do not have to miss anything.

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."
"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."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"Overall, Pipefy helped create more predictable, organized, and scalable operational processes."
"Pipefy is extremely customizable to any process with some incredible automations that helped to reduce our workload."
"Pipefy has had a positive impact on my organization by helping the collections team convert invoices that were overdue into paid invoices and, consequently, cash for the company."
"In terms of money and time saved, Pipefy is a great time saver overall, reflecting in analysts handling additional projects beyond ticket management."
"Pipefy has impacted my organization positively as we have not reduced our headcount, but we could if we wanted to because the number of people managing those processes before Pipefy was a lot."
"Since using Pipefy, I estimate that we have saved 50% in time and costs."
 

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."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"Although Pipefy is a great platform, I find that there are certain areas where it could be improved, especially the registration process, which leaves a lot to be desired as its complexity makes the entire sign-up process time-consuming and cumbersome."
"Overall, I had a positive experience with Pipefy, but I think there are still some areas that could be improved."
"I believe Pipefy can be improved by clarifying the API calls and making packages for API calls more accessible, because in my organization we have a lot of automation, but we have few API calls, precisely because we have a fixed plan and the organization, in fact, does not need that."
"What is lacking is direct support, since I am required to go through a third-party outsourcing company to connect with Pipefy."
"Everything is great, but I find that sometimes the server seems very slow on busy days."
"Pipefy can be improved with processes not only following Kanban styles but other kinds of processes that have more paths, not just a single, direct path, but they have bifurcations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
