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.
Julius Jagdon - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Tools at Motorola Solutions
The tool is intuitive to use and, through automation, has been a real time-saver
When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user. For example, our RSN needs to approve the ticket first before it's moved to the next person rather than having them all grouped. It would be better if we could see all the tickets grouped at the same time.

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."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"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."
"My advice to anybody who is considering KiSSFLOW is that it is easy to use and I recommend it."
"The support team responds fast."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness."
"The best thing is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes."
 

Cons

"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."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."
"They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"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 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 product costs $15 per user per month."
"This is an affordable product and everything is included in the subscription."
"Your company must subscribe to the solution if you create a business account."
"The license is very expensive."
"Kissflow's licensing cost is lower than other products. However, the contract has changed with the second version they have given us, which is the low-code one."
