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.

If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

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, and the features are useful."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"One of the biggest plus points of the product stems from the fact that I have never seen any glitches in it."
"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"iGrafx is the most comprehensive way to have all the cross-feeds and the documents related to workflows, like cross-notes."
"It's a great product, but all the functionalities need to be exploited in order to get the full value of the investment."
"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."
"It is very easy to use for describing processes and is very useful in the simulation of the process putting parameters and the metrics process."
"If you need software to help you easily design processes, make simulations, build value stream mappings, which has some LEAN features, and DMAIC support, I strongly encourage you to go forward and buy iGrafx."
 

Cons

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"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."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."
"I used the single license product. The entire suite can manage complex organizations, linking it with ERP, but it is not so easy to link it to a new ERP."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."
"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"It can be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"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."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
