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.

Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools

The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."

"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."

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."

"Development of forms and flows."

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

More Bonita pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the collaboration point of view, where everybody has a single view, or source of truth, and everybody sees the same thing. Everyone can comment, contribute, and discuss the processes itself, which makes it easier to funnel down the most value adding comments and make the relevant changes to the processes. This leads to the next best iteration or version of your process."

"As a business transformation suite, Signavio offers a number of integrated helpful tools. The Process Modeler helps with the conceptual work, but is directly integrated with the components of the Workflow Accelerator (Automation) and the Process Intelligence (Mining). This makes Signavio an indispensable service package."

"This is one of the best solutions and it is easy to implement."

"The drag-and-drop functionality in Signavio is impressive and user-friendly, allowing easy connection to other elements without the need for excessive back-and-forth."

"A complete business project management suite which seems to open endless possibility."

"The most valuable feature is the glossary. It is really nice because all of the information is centralized, and that is a big help to the company."

"The reason we chose Signavio is it's a very robust industrial-grade business process modeling data tool, with data capture behind it, as well as a collaborative nature. A lot of it comes out of the box and requires less technology involvement. It can be run well by the business users. That's what we really like about it."

"It is a scalable solution."

Cons

"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."

"Installation could be made easier."

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

More Bonita cons

"It is not easy to learn the product."

"The price can be made cheaper."

"There are a lot of challenges with Process Manager. For example, we wanted to create a process map from an Excel sheet, but Signavio doesn't have that capability. I have raised this issue with Signavio support, but it is one of the bottlenecks we are currently facing."

"Moreover, the functionality to show different process variations with "views" could be improved to allow more customization of these views. I believe this would increase the user experience and administrative efforts maintaining these process variations."

"The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version."

"Part of the product that I think can improve is document control. That's currently not even possible. To work with documents we have something of a workaround using SharePoint."

"The workflow automation of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"I would like to be able to include images in the documentation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used 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."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"I found the pricing of the solution to be moderate compared to other choices."

"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."

"We are using the free trial version."

"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."

"My client purchased one editor license and the collaboration hub, which covers up to a hundred people."
