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."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"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."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
 

Cons

"The dashboard has limited features."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"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."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"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 price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"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 Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
