Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Architect at Evoke
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.

Enhances application integration with scalability, reliability, and security
Boomi AtomSphere Flow facilitates data availability across different departments, allowing our clients to generate diverse analytical reports that aid senior management in making informed decisions. The integration layer ensures data security, which is supported by Boomi's EDA and API management capabilities. The solution unites all these functions, preventing the need for separate products for specific operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"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."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is very easy to develop and maintain compared to other tools like SAP HANA Cloud Integration or Cloud Platform."
"Boomi enhances application integration with scalability, reliability, and security."
"In the long run, if you have a good team, solution architect, and an architect from Boomi's side, then it is a good tool from an ROI perspective since it can help save money."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow gives us flexibility."
"The most valuable features include the ease of designing Boomi flows and the significant cost savings and reduced time to market they offer our clients."
"Boomi AtomSphere Flow is integrated through APIs, it exposes the API and any product can call the APIs in the queue. Additionally, it is secure."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its core integration with Boomi AtomSphere because it's extremely easy to tap into any informational system of a company."
 

Cons

"There is a considerable learning curve."
"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."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"The development effort with Boomi AtomSphere Flow is more when you compare it with other tools, which is a drawback and an area of improvement."
"The technical support is rated around 6.5 to seven out of ten. It lacks clarity on how to reach out, write emails, or understand responsiveness."
"Boomi is not as flexible compared to other integration products like IBM's. For complex integration scenarios, Boomi could improve its flexibility."
"Its stability could be improved."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. The whole solution is used through an interface and it could always be improved."
"The solution's user interface building needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in Boomi's AI capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"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 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."
"When you use Boomi AtomSphere Flow in production, you have to pay for licenses. The solution is not expensive but it could be cheaper."
"Since its pricing positioning has a different construction with respect to its competitors, the solution is sometimes way more expensive and sometimes less expensive."
