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

"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"The user interface is easy to use."

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

"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."

"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."

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

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."

"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Signavio Process Manager is the ability to do business process models."

"All in all, Signavio usability is excellent. Anyone can learn to use the tool quickly. This increases acceptance as employees are not facing a high learning curve. With the offered usability it is easy to model processes also live in workshops."

"The formatting features are quite good because you can create very complex models, but you can easily clean them up so that they look very nice."

"As a business transformation suite, Signavio offers a number of integrated helpful tools. The Process Modeler helps with the conceptual work, but is directly integrated with the components of the Workflow Accelerator (Automation) and the Process Intelligence (Mining). This makes Signavio an indispensable service package."

"The collaboration function in the project views is valuable because people can comment on the processes and we can respond."

"I like the collaboration and the real-time aspects of it."

Cons

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"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."

"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."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."

"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."

"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 main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."

More Bonita cons

"The user management functionality in Process Manager is not as user friendly as the one in the Collaboration Hub."

"The solution is complex."

"There are a few bugs when you use the Microsoft Surface Hub with the big screen."

"Its reporting feature could have customization options."

"For me, given I've got a lot of experience working with BPMN and other process management tools, in terms of the interface, I think there's a little bit more that can be improved to match what the conventional BPMN offers. I've been constantly trying to give this feedback to Signavio, to let them know that it needs to be more coherent with the original BPMN version of the stencil."

"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."

"The product's pricing could be improved."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

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

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

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

"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."

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

"It is expensive. The license is monthly."

"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."

"The product is expensive."
