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

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Bonita BPM is simple and fast; it is very easy to install and use."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"Oracle BPM provides a good return on investment, and most customers see benefits within six months to a year."
"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape, and we have had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."
"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."
"What I found most valuable in Oracle BPM is that it has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations, and the solution also provides a lot of adapters which is very helpful."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
 

Cons

"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."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"Pricing is an area that could use improvement."
"Oracle BPM could probably be improved with respect to the cost. When you are using this product, it'll be a bit costlier for the ROA. I think they should do some discounts on these products, especially for the licenses."
"Support for Decision Modelling Notation (DMN). There is a Business Rule Engine available, but this is not DMN-compatible."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"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 Community Edition comes free of charge."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"The licensing model is good."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
