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.

Senior Consultant at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
Facilitates process integration across departments but requires better pricing and broader feature adoption
The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization. I see that it is integrated with other ERPs. If you integrate it with human HRMS workflow management, then it will provide integration with HRMS for Oracle E-Business Suite and for process analytics and business.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"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 really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"The best part about this solution is that the feature set is complete."
"We selected this product not only for the BPM but for the entire package, including the Utilities Stack with out-of-the-box implementations for utility business and utility domains that we could customize instead of building a complete solution from scratch."
"The support is good."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"Oracle BPM is easy to use for both the business and developers, and Oracle BPM's tool for service and application integration is the best on the market to accomplish this."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."
"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"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."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"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."
"Most of the time, we need to restart the server because of some kind of error, such as a memory problem."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"Technical support is an Achilles' heel for all Oracle products, and this is no exception. It takes forever (several months) to have an issue resolved."
"We have had some issues with version migration, from one version of processes to another. We would have to call Oracle Services but on a day to day, we didn't have any issues."
"Although it is a robust product, its learning curve can be steep without having the proper training and mentoring on the first project."
"The overall pricing of the product is around $1,000 per user, or the licensing of Oracle BPM will cost around $50,000 plus."
"Most of the time, we need to restart the server because of some kind of error, such as a memory problem."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"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's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
"The licensing model is good."
"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
