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:
 

Pros

"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"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."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."
"We had great service directly from QPR."
"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"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."
