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.

Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools

The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."

"Development of forms and flows."

More Bonita pros

"The GUI is very easy to use, where you can sit together with your colleagues, discuss the process, and during these discussions you can build up the model."

"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."

"We can use workflow manager to create forms."

"This product has helped us to work within standards for process planning."

"There are many valuable features, of course. I would say the main value of Signavio is to have your current process map in a way that is easy to read and derive optimization actions to make it leaner, faster, more user friendly, etc. Another great feature is the visualization, which is easy to see and read. How they map the process is also very user friendly, with drag-and-drop functionality. Also, it's a very self-explanatory, user-friendly solution."

"I really like the Collaboration Hub because it's so easy to communicate. And what is really important is that you can use it asynchronously. It doesn't matter if you're working in Italy or in America. You are using the same process and you can speak about the same process."

"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."

"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

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

"Installation could be made easier."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

"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."

"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."

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

More Bonita cons

"It could be more flexible from a customization point of view, where the user is able to display only whatever he needs."

"Its reporting feature could have customization options."

"It would be beneficial to have a defined leveling or hierarchy system to facilitate better understanding and analysis. More openness and flexibility would enhance its capabilities."

"There is a lot of room for improvement. We've submitted a lot of OSS requests for special inputs we need, like glossary or dictionary entries in Quick Model. Currently, that's not functional."

"It is sometimes difficult to find the match between what is possible and what is wanted, or what is helpful with the product, so better documentation may assist in this regard."

"There is always room for improvement is the capability of integration with other solutions."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting function. At the moment, for example, while it is possible to report on how many users you had in the last month, you can't use it to tell you how many users you had from the first week to the second week. This is really a drawback because when you have an activity to promote Signavio or BPI, it would be good to be able to measure how many people you had in the system."

"I would like to see more integration with the process manager in terms of the workflow accelerator."

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."

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

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"I think that the price of the licenses is between $2,000 USD and $3,000 USD per license per year, plus the hub usage. I cannot remember the exact cost, but it is affordable."

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."

"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."

"It is expensive. The license is monthly."

"I think we're spending about $150,000 a year on licensing costs."

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."

"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."
