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

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"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."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"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."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
"We promote the use of this product because it's integrated and has a very nicely designed program, simplifying our workflow and the workflow of our clients, which saves time and money for everyone while making us more productive."

Cons

"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"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."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"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 menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
"I would like for them to incorporate artificial intelligence and be more intuitive."
"I would like for them to incorporate artificial intelligence and be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"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."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
