Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"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."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"In my environment, if I want to shut down all tools in one shot, I can create a workflow and run the workflow to shut down all tools in one go."
"This solution basically does everything that we need it to do."
"We have reduced the amount of time it would take to resolve an incident or to send an escalation to a customer, and it has saved us many man hours."
"We have saved few million dollars with OO."
"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."
"Four years ago, we created a new department for automation, and today the organization has a lot of trust in us and we are placed in each strategic architecture, everybody knows us, trusts us, and is happy to work with us, and we are problem solvers and the innovation robo team."
"The centralization of the administration is what's most valuable for us."
"The automation, hands down, is the future of our company and the direction we're going in, letting us deploy servers in 15 minutes instead of two weeks and even embed monitoring into that same automated service for a huge benefit."
 

Cons

"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 documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"The setup is a little bit complex, as the first time we needed some help from HPE support, but afterwards on repeating the process it became easier."
"But what I would like are more functionalities around code release."
"It's not a perfect solution, such as with the customization prompts."
"However, if we need help with a problem on our own, it's difficult to get the right support."
"There are automation tools out there that are more unified -- network, database, servers. Operations Orchestration doesn't do everything and you need to buy other components for other tasks."
"Customer service is one of those areas that definitely needs to be improved. 3.5 out of 10 Technical Support: Needs improvement."
"In order for our customers to have a deeper integration of Operations Orchestration, it needs to be offered with more cloud options, whether that's public or private or hybrid."
"If you're running it in a Windows environment, you're tied to the inefficiency and quirkiness of Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"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 Community Edition comes free of charge."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."
"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Operations Orchestration?
The pricing is medium, and the automation helps in cost and time savings, resulting in substantial value for money.
What needs improvement with Operations Orchestration?
I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios. This would save time by not starting from scratch each time.
