Featured Reviews

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.

Solution Consultant at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Provides documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities
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

"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"The solution is easy to use."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"It has increased accountability by providing defined documentation ownership."
"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."
"It's a great product, but all the functionalities need to be exploited in order to get the full value of the investment."
"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"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."
"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."
 

Cons

"Installation could be made easier."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"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."
"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."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The look and feel, along with the ease of use of the solution's web modeling version, is an area with certain shortcomings."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"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."
"They can reduce the cost of the product and make it easily accessible for consultants."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"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."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
