Architect at Evoke
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.

"The user interface is easy to use."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."

"The solution is easy to use."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

Cons

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"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."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
