Integrates well and helpful support
Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company. We use the data that other tools provide in our implementation. We have developed several processes here in the company, such as requests for change, request development, and buying processes. The tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, the administrator can move the process one step to another without needing to be implemented in the logic of the automation, this can be done from the administration console Or with the integration EIK, there is a wide number of options for the administrator who gives you great flexibility in your administration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"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."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
"Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company, and the tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, giving great flexibility in administration."
 

Cons

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
"The tool does not save the reprocessing of the steps, this has to be done with own implementations, stores the whole story of a process instance but in a non-processable format for statistics without doing prior job."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Ultimus could stand to lower the price. Other tools are cheaper."
