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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"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."
"Development of forms and flows."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We had great service directly from QPR."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
 

Cons

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"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."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
