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.

The area of improvement with OpenText 360 for SharePoint is that sometimes there are unexpected service outages. Though these situations are rare, I want to highlight that in case of any outage in the services, because everything is located in SharePoint, there is a chance that reports start failing or dashboards fail, or the system behaves differently. In future updates, I would want to see widgets available in OpenText 360 for SharePoint to interact with third-party tools. For example, when creating a dashboard, having the ability to embed these directly into SharePoint would be beneficial. Currently, I have to use hyperlinks to access other tools such as Tableau or ClickView. If it were possible to merge everything and bring all information from multiple teams (Cognos, ClickView, AWS) into SharePoint as a centralized place, it would be really helpful. That is what I envision for the integrator part.

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."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications."
"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."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"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."
"The benefits that OpenText 360 for SharePoint has brought to my company include improved turnaround time."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance; the solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet."
"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"We have manual processes, so the workflow enables us to automate a number of these processes."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
"OpenText Process 360 is modular and has more features than other products from a financial point of view."
 

Cons

"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"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."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity."
"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."
"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."
"It is not scalable."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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 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 price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"It has a reasonable price."
"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
