Offers good flexibility to users
Improvements are required in the tool licensing area as it is a bit expensive. The tool's user interface needs improvement. If you don't know the tool as a beginner, it is very hard for you to design the workflow. The interface is actually quite confusing. There are a lot of places we need to configure here and there since there are multiple locations involved. The features or functions available are good enough for me to implement for my business activities. The tool can include topics like AI. I encountered an issue with the tool during the deployment into production. The server itself experienced a slowness-related issue caused by the configuration, where the resources were not enough for TIBCO, not because of the physical server. I raised a ticket with the support team and got some advice from them. I then went to study the server configuration, and finally, I found out that there will be a need to increase the threats in order for the server to process the multiple parallel incoming requests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."
 

Cons

"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"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 documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good."
"The interface is actually quite confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"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."
"For my company, the tool costs about 2,0,000 Euros for three years...If one is bad and ten is good, I rate the price as one out of ten."

What needs improvement with TIBCO Business Studio?
An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good.
