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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"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."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
 

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."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"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."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
