Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 17, 2024

Bonita and WorkFusion compete in the business process management category. WorkFusion has the upper hand with its advanced automation and AI-driven processes compared to Bonita's more flexible pricing and integration capabilities.

Features: Bonita offers customizable workflows, easy integration with third-party applications, and user-friendly UI for diverse business needs. WorkFusion provides robust automation features, AI capabilities, and machine learning tools, making it suitable for businesses seeking comprehensive automation solutions.

Room for Improvement: Bonita could enhance its documentation for technical integrations, expand its mobile compatibility, and improve scalability for larger enterprises. WorkFusion should streamline its deployment complexity, optimize user training materials, and enhance the versatility of its automation features for broader applications.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Bonita offers a straightforward deployment and reliable customer service with direct communication channels, ideal for quick setups. WorkFusion, while comprehensive, requires more intricate integration but supports users with thorough guidance and strong customer support services.

WorkFusion, despite higher initial costs, delivers substantial long-term savings and enhanced ROI by leveraging its advanced process automation efficiencies.

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.

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities

I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."

"The user interface is easy to use."

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."

"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."

"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."

"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."

"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."

More Bonita pros

"We have seen Workfusion improve on accuracy and compliance... With the Workfusion model, we reduce human error and the need for further QC. We switch more to a QA process where we're testing whether the model is effective."

"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."

"In terms of stability, it's quite good. It's an internal IP product."

"It really does help by either freeing up people's time to focus on more value-added tasks or reducing headcount. We generally have other things that we can get people to do, helping make the employees' work more meaningful since they are not having to do the mundane stuff."

"The solution is stable, we have not had any glitches or problems."

"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."

"The Control Tower enables us to create and use workflows. It helps us run processes. There are a lot of small features, but the Control Tower is a very good feature, wherein we can create bots and schedule them as well as create different instances of them to run in different regions."

"The cognitive features of this solution are good."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

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

"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."

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"Installation could be made easier."

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

More Bonita cons

"We had some issues in the past, but it is fairly stable now. From what I hear, it is more stable in the later versions. With version 10.1.4, there were some issues relating to load distribution. However, it is good now."

"We have executed our robots thousands of times in our enterprise environment. However, in an enterprise environment, WorkFusion has performance problems. It is slow in production."

"It is complex for enterprise implementation. The solution needs a needs minimum, of 20-22 servers. It's no small task. This is not a straightforward setup. It's a large undertaking and there are many moving parts."

"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."

"It should integrate with more ERP solutions like SAP. It doesn't currently have that ability."

"There could be better version control through their web platform. That is something that could be improved on. Integration from the IDE, e.g., from WorkFusion Studio directly into Control Tower, would be nice to have too."

"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."

"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use. A good example of this is the use of Python code to perform automations. It is free and the skills transfer is able to happen quickly and the operation and initiation of the completed automation is easy to execute."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"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."

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

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

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."

"One upgrade took a year to do, from the first server being built to the last bot being migrated. This was because we had to migrate all our existing bots. This is the same process and time frame that we are expecting towards the upcoming upgrade. I will end up spending half a million dollars to do an upgrade."

"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."

"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."

"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."

"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."

"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."

"Find it online."
