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.

Has helped orchestrate processes and integrate workflows across cloud environments

I recommend ServiceNow Orchestration for larger companies because they have the capability to manage complex environments where it performs better. I promote low-code solutions for these implementations. I don't currently have an idea regarding the pre-built integrations of ServiceNow Orchestration, but I plan to check my area to determine what added value it can bring. I would rate this solution a nine overall.

Quotes from Members

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

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

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."

"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."

"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications."

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

More Bonita pros

"The product has a flexible interface for development."

"There are a lot of ready to use orchestration custom packs."

More ServiceNow Orchestration pros

Cons

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."

"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."

"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

More Bonita cons

"The deployment requires awareness among the project staff."

"ServiceNow Orchestration needs to improve multiple aspects in which their event monitoring system is one. The solution lacks event monitoring systems which makes them non-competitive. They need to include improvements in a similar manner that they did in Sweden."

"There should be connectors to cover at least the top industry applications, and they should be easier to configure in a plug-and-play fashion."

"If I compare the interface of ServiceNow Orchestration with Boomi, it is easier to use Boomi than ServiceNow Orchestration."

"We cannot perform GUI automation using the tool."

"If I compare the interface of ServiceNow Orchestration with Boomi, it is easier to use Boomi than ServiceNow Orchestration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

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

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"It is quite expensive because we've had some customers come back and say it's quite pricey because in order for them to go ahead with Orchestration, they must have already been paying for Discovery, service mapping, and a few other things."

"In terms of price, this solution is at the higher end of what you'll find."

"The cost of the solution is based on the number of plugins, conductors and integrations used and is charged annually. The licensing cause has been increasing gradually which makes it difficult to access. Initially offer free features but over the time the charges rise which make it an expensive solution with limited features. Along with that, the integration issues persist and require additional middle where and internet connectivity for effective usage."

"It is not very expensive."

"The solution is costly and orchestrations are very expensive."

"ServiceNow doesn't give a clear cost indication. They have different contracts with different organizations and it's all about negotiation, so you don't know how they are doing at the cost level."

"Pricing is custom to every customer."

"This is an expensive product, but it is the best in the market considering the features and lack of competitors."
