Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Architect at Evoke
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.
Gavin Bérubé - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees
Works as a reference for architecture but not very intuitive
We use the solution as a reference for architecture so that we can connect business data applications. The tool helps us to know how these applications should be built. We use it mainly as reference material.  I like the solution's traceability.  The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"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 user interface is easy to use."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"Enterprise architecture and a positive sense of understanding soon reached everyone."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"I like the solution's traceability."
 

Cons

"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
"In the previous version, the web interface was unstable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution 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 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."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
