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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"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."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"The solution is easy to use."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

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

"The user interface is easy to use."

More Bonita pros

"It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"

"The business process management is definitely the most valuable feature. What Creatio ended up doing with their software solution is giving you the power, in your own hands, in a way that is incredibly intuitive and well-structured."

"Studio Creatio is a very good and complete solution. It is very stable, and for customers who need a good response time, in the public cloud, Creatio provides the possibility to have a private server for a high level of transactions and good response time. Their support is great. They are very good, and they know the solution very well. Their response time is also great."

"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."

"The tool enables users to work offline through the mobile application."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."

"Creatio also provides us with scalability, performance and agility."

More Studio Creatio pros

Cons

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

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

"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 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."

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

"Installation could be made easier."

"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."

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

More Bonita cons

"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."

"HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve."

"The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it."

"It does not have the ability to run one single large process."

"Studio Creatio is a new product in the market, making its lack of maturity an area of concern."

"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."

"I can have several types of contacts, customers, employees, partners, and so on, and I would like to have a different view for each type of contact in the list view. Currently, there is no way to configure this. This is something I would like Creatio to improve. In this time of COVID, it is very important that all such solutions improve omnichannel communications and omnichannel marketing. Companies need to communicate with customers by using not just the phone number and email but also by using social networks. All companies today need artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and social communication."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

"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."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"It is fairly competitive."

"The tool is reasonably priced."

"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."

"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."

"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"There is a license required for this solution."
