It integrates well with Visual Studio and .NET, enhancing its functionality. Bonita offers strong integration capabilities and a low-code development platform. Its form-building tools and detailed documentation make it efficient for process automation.

Room for Improvement: Bizagi users suggest improvements in performance, cloud support, and automation complexity, alongside better exporting formats and integration with external systems.

Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects

I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I very much like the reusable rules and forms, and the way Bizagi controls the process flow. I also like the document generating system to generate PDFs and then .doc files with information gathered from a flow. At the end of a process, you can generate a document that can be printed."

"It improves visibility and quality, and basically, it avoids human errors."

"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."

"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."

"Its cost is the most valuable. It is not as expensive. It is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."

"Very user friendly and a professional solution."

"The free online Help and E-Learning is very strong."

"The solution offers a free version of their product."

More Bizagi 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."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

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

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

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

"Development of forms and flows."

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

More Bonita pros

Cons

"Bizagi has been aggressively adding features to maintain its market-leading position, however, in some cases, this has impacted the stability of certain product builds."

"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."

"I don't know if it's a problem with my operating system or a Bizagi problem, but many times I see that when I try to connect different activities, they show up as not connected."

"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."

"The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version. I've been trying to check some maps, for example, organizational maps or a model on organization hierarchy. Apparently, there seems to be no template. You have to create your own. I am not sure if there are templates, but I've not really seen any. I think that there's room for improvement."

"Can be difficult for new users."

"One part of the university has changed its regular desktops to Linux. This is a weak point because Bizagi doesn't run on Linux. I would like the opportunity to run the software inside of Linux."

"There could be more documentation."

More Bizagi cons

"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."

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

"There is a considerable learning curve."

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

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

"Installation could be made easier."

"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."

More Bonita cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."

"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."

"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."

"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."

"My company uses the free version of the product."

"The product must improve its cost."

"We have no issues with the pricing."

"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."

More Bizagi pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

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

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

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

"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."

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