Has built-in, existing processes that can be easily modified

In terms of what could be improved, I would not say that the solution itself needs improvement, meaning the product side, but more that the overall approach of the organization does. At the moment there are very few people who can lead training for the product. I think that area needs to improve. They should train more organizations because now they're the only ones that do training. As the product gets more and more customers, it takes longer to schedule a training. They need to get more training providers. The vendor is the only one doing the training. You schedule it in March and you find you can only do training quite far down the line and maybe you also want to do deployment. They're still entering the South African market, but I think now they have enough customers to get other providers so you won't have wait too long for the training before you can start running with the product.

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."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"Development of forms and flows."

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

"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."

More Bonita pros

"One of the things that I have found most valuable is that it is very easy to use. For example, they have built-in existing processes that you can easily modify."

Cons

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

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."

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

"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."

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"Installation could be made easier."

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

More Bonita cons

"At the moment there are very few people who can lead training for the product. I think that area needs to improve."

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."

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

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

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

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"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."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

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