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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Development of forms and flows."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"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."
"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."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
