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.

Cloud data catalog has streamlined lineage and quality while leaving more automation to improve
I have not explored IDMC's automation capabilities driven by AI and metadata too much at the moment, but it is on the cards. We are basically creating the foundation, as the whole migration has taken place recently and it is still early days. I think Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) is evolving, and as the vendors move forward, they pick up new concepts from each other. I have seen that products leapfrog each other, and from my experience over the years, the big players tend to copy features or add enhancements based on industry trends. I feel whatever the tool does not have now, there is a feedback loop allowing us to request new features, and we continually ask for different ways to do things as we have a pipeline into the product management team. It is difficult to say what additional features I would prefer to see in the next release of IDMC. I would appreciate more automation on the lineage front, with more AI to seamlessly join independent sources and create seamless lineage between different technologies, such as from file into database A into a different database and landing up in a reporting system such as Cognos, Qlik, Qlik Sense, QlikView, or Power BI.

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."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"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."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Overall product management, flexibility, intuitiveness and governance."
"This product is the most agile way to use all of the data capabilities and data services that you need to exploit in your company."
"Over the last decade, Informatica has proved to be the best MDM solution that is available in the market."
"Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"There are a couple of valuable features. One is that it is very quick on the profiling. So, you get a very fast snapshot of the type of data that you're looking at from the profiling perspective. It can highlight anomalies in the data."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"Most of the new features added by Informatica are through Elastic Mapping. It would be helpful to have features like multithreading or partitioning for Salesforce to enhance performance."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"Data integration should be improved."
"This is a costly solution. We have several customers who evaluate it but then look for other solutions because of the cost. At present, Informatica MDM comes as an on-premises or cloud-based solution. I would like to see them offer a SaaS-based MDM model. I think they are working on it."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"One thing to consider is that while Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services already integrates with AI platforms, we need to use these tools rigorously and check all these aspects, including machine learning and analytics. I feel that more work needs to be done on this aspect."
"If I want to scan the metadata from the data lineage or the Python code, such areas can get tedious in the tool."
 

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."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Informatica MDM's pricing is not cheap but comparable to other vendors."
"I rate Informatica MDM's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Informatica Axon is expensive."
"I have heard from customers that the product comes with a huge license cost."
"The pricing is high compared to other tools on the market."
"Informatica MDM is very expensive. Apart from licensing fees, they have broken down their products into multiple products, and they charge for each and every product. If the data is huge, they charge for the data. At times, we have to use third party services for data cleaning, and they charge for that as well."
