The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

Administrator at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Supports process modeling and customization but needs better reporting flexibility and UI improvements
As an administrator, I would improve MEGA HOPEX by adding a WYSIWYG feature for building reports, which would be very helpful. Additionally, I would want reporting customization from the front end web application, not only from the Windows app, which is the customizer. If all changes could be made in the web application, that would be beneficial because every time we need to request access to the server, it takes time in large organizations and involves multiple levels of approvals from cybersecurity and IT security, which can block the project. Regarding dashboards in MEGA HOPEX, they could definitely be better. Having something similar to ARIS would make it easier to build dashboards, providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience, allowing me to drag and drop elements, configure them, and test queries. Moreover, RFQL language is not common, so in MEGA HOPEX, I need to learn RFQL querying. In terms of additional features for MEGA HOPEX, I would appreciate more features for workflows. There are limitations in customizing the email notifications sent during workflows. When creating a workflow, I can configure actions and customize the text, but not the header and footer. Therefore, all emails from the tool come with a MEGA HOPEX header. In large organizations like BPM COE, we want to have our own logo, header, and footer in those emails, but this is not configurable, which I find limiting. I would appreciate easier features to customize workflows and create workflows.

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."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"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."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"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."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"The support experience in Latin America is great, and for us, it's very important to have local connections and use cases, as MEGA has had a lot of partners in Latin America and this local connection was the main selling point for us compared to other companies that use services outside of Latin America in Europe or the USA."
"The ability to have standardized reports around obsolescence and lifecycle management is probably the most valuable."
"The support experience in Latin America is great."
"The initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations."
"The strength of MEGA HOPEX lies in its ability to customize the metamodel."
"I have observed MegaHOPEX has capabilities in architecture and other areas."
"MEGA typically exceeds most of the needs of a client in terms of what they offer."
"The dashboard on the homepage makes for an enhanced view at a glance of the various work functions applicable to the user."
 

Cons

"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"MEGA HOPEX's initial setup could be easier. The newer version is better but they still need to improve the process. The deployment took approximately four to eight hours."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"We would like the reporting and analytics, road mapping, import/export functionality, and data modelling capabilities to be improved."
"I would say the other big issue is documentation. Mega needs better documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"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."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"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."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"I've been told that MEGA HOPEX is very expensive, which is why small organizations dismiss the tool. It's complex and costly versus other simpler and cheaper solutions."
"If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too expensive."
"The product has a high cost."
"The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive. The license key for business process analysis and IT architecture is approximately €10,000. This price is fixed, it's not a subscription or cloud-based version. It is a one-time price."
"The price of the support depends on the vendors that are reselling this module or the MEGA HOPEX version 5. We are on premium support and are their only partners in the GCC, we have a premium support contract with them. The support we have is not with the client. The client does not bear the cost, it's us who bear the cost."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
