Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Development of forms and flows.""One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform.""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.""I really enjoy using the workflow management.""Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable.""This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly.""Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy.""The solution is easy to use."

More Bonita Pros →

"Orchestration is commonly utilized by major corporations. The process of linking methods in ServiceNow, known as the RTS chain to parent methods, is executed seamlessly and efficiently. It's quite impressive and significant in its impact.""There are a lot of ready to use orchestration custom packs.""It's scalable.""The interface of the solution is very user friendly and it is easily accessible via a simple URL. This makes it easier to complete the UI based tasks but using other features require expertise in languages like Java. But along with that, there are limitation in terms of network connectivity testing and administrator faces regular challenges in conducting connectivity tests due to these limitations.""It's probably the best product out there.""The product has a flexible interface for development.""The solution effectively automates business processes.""Employee onboarding, de-boarding, and other service-provision features make the process easier and it saves us a lot of time."

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.""The dashboard has limited features.""The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve.""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.""There is a considerable learning curve.""We are struggling a bit with integrations.""There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity.""Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

More Bonita Cons →

"The automatic remediation needs enhancement, particularly integrating ServiceNow with tools like SolarWinds and Logic Monitor. It is functional, but it needs improvement.""From my space, the only thing that I can say is the spinning up with Google Cloud Services.""There should be connectors to cover at least the top industry applications, and they should be easier to configure in a plug-and-play fashion.""ServiceNow Orchestration needs to improve multiple aspects in which their event monitoring system is one. The solution lacks event monitoring systems which makes them non-competitive. They need to include improvements in a similar manner that they did in Sweden.""There can be gaps in integration.""Frequent upgrades may negatively impact the performance of instances. Therefore, for now, I don't recommend any additional upgrades.""The flow rate for releases and updates is very, very slow and does not meet customers' objectives for scalability.""I would like a user experience module to be added."

  • More Bonita Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "In terms of price, this solution is at the higher end of what you'll find."
  • "This is an expensive product, but it is the best in the market considering the features and lack of competitors."
  • "ServiceNow doesn't give a clear cost indication. They have different contracts with different organizations and it's all about negotiation, so you don't know how they are doing at the cost level."
  • "The solution is costly and orchestrations are very expensive."
  • "It is quite expensive because we've had some customers come back and say it's quite pricey because in order for them to go ahead with Orchestration, they must have already been paying for Discovery, service mapping, and a few other things."
  • "The cost of the solution is based on the number of plugins, conductors and integrations used and is charged annually. The licensing cause has been increasing gradually which makes it difficult to access. Initially offer free features but over the time the charges rise which make it an expensive solution with limited features. Along with that, the integration issues persist and require additional middle where and internet connectivity for effective usage."
  • "It is not very expensive."
