Bonita Reviews

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

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

I have been working with the product for eight years. 

The product is stable. 

The tool is scalable. My company has 500 users for the solution. We have plans to increase the product's usage. 

The software's tech support is good. 

The tool's setup is simple. It takes one hour to complete the deployment. You would need one person to complete the deployment. 

We have seen ROI with the tool's use. 

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

I would rate the tool an eight out of ten. The solution improves the internal process. It creates a big impact on the organization's digitalization process. 

We are an implementation partner, and we implement Bonita. Most of our implementations are on-premises.

It is used for process and workflow automation. When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market. We have implemented 30+ processes for various customers (Pharma, Manufacturing, Financial). The tool is very easy to use and built on open-source technology. Easy to integrate with external systems.

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 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.

We have been using this solution for eight years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. It is robust enough to scale to additional properties. You can also have a clustering mechanism. It is robust enough for a workflow solution.

We have four active customers, and we have done implementation for close to eight customers.

We are their premium partners. They are very helpful and nice. They provide very good technical support.

It is a very straightforward process. It is a hassle-free installation. It took less than four or five hours.

We have a team of close to 20 members. For simple implementations, we have two to three members.

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.

I would recommend this solution. Small and medium businesses can use this product.

I would rate Bonita a seven out of ten.

We use Bonita for business processes development.

Bonita is user-friendly.

The features are useful.

Installation could be made easier.

I would like to see more automated processes.

I have been working with Bonita for two years, and last used it six months ago.

Bonita is a stable solution.

I believe that it is scalable.

I have not contacted technical support.

I also use Visio and Bizagi.

Depending on my customers, I use a variety of programs for business projects. Some enterprise businesses use Bonita, while others use Visio and Excel.

Our clients use Bonita, Visio, and other programs. I need to use all of them because I'm creating a consultant system.

The installation was not simple, but it was difficult.

My company is a reseller and distributor of other software, both Canadian and American, but I would like to resell Bonita as well.

I would rate Bonita an eight out of ten.

I use the product for the approval and registration processes.

The solution is easy to use.

The solution should improve its BPM interface.

The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes. Sometimes when working on Bonita Community Edition, the workspace crashes, and we cannot reopen it and access the workspace.

I have been using this solution for the past three years.

I would rate the solution’s stability a five out of ten.

Since I am using Community Edition, I rate the scalability an eight out of ten. Five people use the solution in our organization.

We tried buying Bonita Enterprise Edition, but no one answered our queries. The support does not reply to queries. The support is very bad.

The initial setup is very simple.

We use Bonita Community Edition. Besides the Bonita Enterprise edition’s price, I do not know what is in the Enterprise edition that's different from Bonita Community Edition. I only know that the Enterprise edition is different from the Community edition. Also, using Bonita Community Edition in production is not recommended.

On the other hand, IBM BPM stores the options indefinitely, making them easier to use. IBM BPM also has better performance. I would recommend Bonita for understanding and learning the concept of BPM. However, I would not recommend Bonita to anyone who wants to go into production for a long time.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I was tasked with evaluating three different BPM vendors for my organization. Of the 3 I evaluated, Bonita was the best in:

• creating forms
• ease of customization of forms
• versatility of supported platforms (we have both Macs and Windows machines, and the Studio will work on both)
• It is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts.
• Though we'd like to have a totally non-programming implementation, Bonita facilitates scripts where needed. It doesn't use any type of proprietary scripting language, like I saw in some other BPM products.

Our first use case is not in production yet, but our business users have expressed how they feel it will add the needed checks and reviews to an area where data was updated without any type of review process.

The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced.

6 months

Not in production yet.

It has been very stable in our dev environment so far.

It was very easy to install both the studio and the server engine.

We installed it via our in-house team.

BizAgi, Process Maker

Before choosing any BPM product, definitely do a real world POC with and test ease of connectivity to external systems via REST or SOAP, evaluate ease of form development, and ease of custimization.

We are in the early stages of testing this solution. It is used for business process automation.

One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform.

There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity.

I have been using this solution for a couple of days.

We have used Novacura.

The installation was easy.

We have an internal team that does the implementation of Bonita.

The price of the solution is reasonable.

We have evaluated Pega.

I rate Bonita seven out of ten.

The most valuable features are:

• Development of forms and flows
• Flow execution
• Database connectors

In my MBA class, I use Bonita BPM to teach BPMN design and execution.

The Cloud version should have a different billing model. I have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for.

I have used this solution for two years.

Bonita BPM is simple and fast. It is very easy to install and use.

Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low. The paid version may be better, but I don't have contact with it.

I use the Community version that doesn't have support. Documentation is weak.

Oracle BPM was too heavy and complex, I needed a simpler solution and that is why I selected this solution.

The setup was very easy.

We evaluated other solutions, such as Oracle, IBM, and MuleSoft.

The important criteria while selecting a vendor are support, good price, good quality and performance.

You should check also Oracle and IBM BPM on cloud. However, if your company doesn't have a big budget, then Bonita BPM could be a good option.

1- Rapid Live Process Design and verification

2- Webservices and Connector

3- Form Builder

1- Designing processes is a two way street: you design and verify and the verification process usually is a guess work. But with Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows.

2- Designing processes requires interaction with other systems to get, set, update and delete objects. With Bonita Connectors, it's really easy to design and run processes which interact with other systems.

3- Quick prototyping by utilizing the Form Builder, get your data as per your requirements and prototype the process/application FAST!

BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)
