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

"Development of forms and flows."

"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."

"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."

"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."

More Bonita pros

"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."

Cons

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."

"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."

"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

"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."

More Bonita cons

"This solution needs to be more customizable."

"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."

"This solution needs to be more customizable."

"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

"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."

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