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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"My advice to anybody who is considering KiSSFLOW is that it is easy to use and I recommend it."
"The user interface is very, very good."
"Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company."
"The support team responds fast."
"The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."
"The ease of use is great; the user interface is very, very good, and the creation of process forms is very simple while offering a good amount of detail that can be captured."
"I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook."
"The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB."
 

Cons

"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects."
"There is a lag in the delay between API calls."
"One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization."
"In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community."
"The integration between forms should be made easier."
"Sometimes some notifications don't appear on the mobile app."
"KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
