Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Anatolii Vovniuk - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable, easy to use, and has good built-in dashboards
The tool is available on the cloud as well as on-premise. The ease of setup depends on the complexity of the project. In most cases, we just connect and work. We must create our own team and find a partner to build our own application. If we need to create something new, it will take time. I rate the ease of setup of the cloud version a ten out of ten. However, I would rate the ease of setup of the on-premise version a five or six out of ten. The on-premise version takes longer to deploy. The cloud version can be deployed within minutes. We receive a license key and start working. If all the components are ready, we can deploy the on-premise version within ten days.

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"It enables automating tasks and provides self-service options, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code and no-code platform."
"The tool enables users to work offline through the mobile application."
"The most valuable features are performance, built-in variety of multiple task automation, and has international standards notations."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"
"The low-code tools and business process management that Creatio provides are useful for our internal processes. It is also very easy to use."
"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
"It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."
 

Cons

"Installation could be made easier."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"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."
"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."
"Studio Creatio is a new product in the market, making its lack of maturity an area of concern."
"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."
"It does not have the ability to run one single large process."
"The documentation must be more technical."
"They can improve the business rules for defining the type and quantity of the business load. They already seem to be working on this improvement. Integration with the social networks will be very appreciated by the companies. It will be very useful for communication between the company and customers, that is, B to C relationships. Most of the customers or users have smartphones, and they use a lot of social networks. Companies need to stay connected with the customers. They have enabled integration with WhatsApp and Telegram in recent releases, which has been very useful."
"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page. It has to be connected to the object and you're pretty much locked in at that point... If you want to connect anything other than what exists in that object to that object, you're going to have to create a completely new home for it in that object."
"The solution does not allow extensive customization of the UI. I would like to have much more control over the UI when I build a process. Currently on the UI where the fields are placed and the layout is set in place and you cannot change it. Your experience is going to be the same throughout whatever use case that you are building from customer to customer. You can not have much control over how it looks for each customer. This is an area where they can improve on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
"It is fairly competitive."
"From my standpoint, it blows out of the water all the other competitors out there that we were potentially looking at, and it was in a reasonable price range, whereas you have these other Fortune 500 companies that were asking for a ridiculous amount."
"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
