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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"In general, Bonita is a very good 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."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"Development of forms and flows."

Cons

"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."
"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
