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.

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

"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"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 Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"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."
"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations."
"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
 

Cons

"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"Installation could be made easier."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"Regarding the Process Analytics feature, which features are you referring to?"
"Although it is a robust product, its learning curve can be steep without having the proper training and mentoring on the first project."
"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."
"The overall pricing of the product is around $1,000 per user, or the licensing of Oracle BPM will cost around $50,000 plus."
"The solution needs to offer better integration with third-party systems."
"You have to maintain it manually."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"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."
"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."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"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 licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
