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.

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

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"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."

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

"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 solution is easy to use."

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

"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."

More Bonita pros

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

"If you compare it to its competitors in the market, it is more Java-native."

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

"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."

"The cognitive features of this solution are good."

"The automation process is the most valuable feature."

"The customer support is very responsive."

"It takes care of simple tasks so users can focus more on exceptions than on regular use cases. They only focus on orders where they need to handle an exception, some information was not given, or there is an issue that they had to focus on. The rest of it goes straight through without human touch. We want to see our employees as engineers, wherein they think and solve problems, not necessarily have to do repetitive tasks. I think WorkFusion helps with avoiding repetitive tasks."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

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

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

"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."

"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."

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

More Bonita cons

"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."

"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."

"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."

"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."

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

"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 had some problems in the past with the Inspector tool that looks at the elements on the screen. Replacing it or improving it is needed."

"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

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

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

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

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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