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 stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"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."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."

"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."

More Bonita pros

"The solution is user-friendly."

"In my opinion, the most valuable feature is the editor and its ease of use, and when people are looking at it, they can make comments about changes that need to be made."

"The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."

"The interface is very intuitive and includes a drag-and-drop function."

"One of the most valuable features is ease of use which has really been a good thing to put into the business. People like tools that they can just pick up and use straight-away."

"This solution is innovative and simple to use."

"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."

"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."

Cons

"Installation could be made easier."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

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

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."

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

"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."

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

More Bonita cons

"Customized reporting can be improved to make this a more versatile tool."

"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."

"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."

"It would be beneficial to have a defined leveling or hierarchy system to facilitate better understanding and analysis. More openness and flexibility would enhance its capabilities."

"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."

"The collaboration and commenting are great. However, I think it would be more useful for people to get notifications of comments straight-away so we can react even quicker to them than we already can."

"Signavio already offers a wonderful range of functions. If variant management and customer journeys are optimized, Signavio can definitely bask in the glory of BPM tools. We also see optimization potential in the management of licenses, e.g. no named users but rather floating licenses and integration into the company's active directory."

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

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"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 Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"The customer Journey Modeler is more than twice the price of Process Manager, which is a lot."

"It is expensive. The license is monthly."

"The solution is expensive."

"SAP is always more expensive. The per-user cost is hard to calculate and forecast for a big company."

"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."

"We are only able to use the free academic licenses because we have a financial constraint. We are not able to pay for commercial licenses to use this kind of tool."
