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.

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.

IT Engineer III at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

It has improved our accuracy since we are eliminating the human error element. There could be better version control through their web platform.

We only have our engineering team writing code and developing business processes since it is very technical. In terms of data extraction and training the ML models, we deployed that to our accounts payable department, which has fewer technical users than our engineering team. After a handful of training sessions, they were able to get in there and use it with decent accuracy. It could be better, but it is definitely better than nothing. One of the big upgrades that I know is happening in version 10 is an improvement to their tagging interface. That is definitely something that I am excited about to sort of reinvigorate our more non-technical users in information extraction from our documents. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is easy to use."

"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."

"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."

"Development of forms and flows."

"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

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

More Bonita pros

"The cognitive features of this solution are good."

"The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool."

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

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

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

"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 dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature. When clients want to look at the data it's very easy for them to do so. The dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."

"The document processing engine is good. We're extracting around 70 data points from a given document, and we have an automated extraction rate of 80 percent for those fields."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"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."

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

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

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

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

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

"Installation could be made easier."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

More Bonita cons

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

"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."

"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."

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

"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."

"On a scale of 1 - 10 I would rate them a 6. That's not low - that 60%. But as I said, it needs to be upgraded and modified."

"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."

"I would like it if they provided a more detailed roadmap in terms of where they are going with the product. As we are trying to make decisions about the things that we are going to do to try to augment our capabilities, we could know whether they are thinking about the same things or not."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

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

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

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

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"As a first-time customer who wants to engage with WorkFusion, not working for my company, then I would want to do a PoC. The cost is prohibitive because they will ask me to get infrastructure with six or seven servers. Then, you must buy a WorkFusion license to do a PoC, which is expensive. I would then have to set up a team to build the PoC and see the benefits. That is very prohibitive."

"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."

"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."

"Find it online."

"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."

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