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.
Combs Peterson - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at Astek
Automated email workflows have improved appointment delivery accuracy and boosted customer satisfaction
In my opinion, the best features SS&C Blue Prism offers are that it is very effective. It offers a free trial and premium integration. It also offers workflow creation which is simple and easy. The flow structure is easy to read and can be directly used in presentations to customers and management. Additionally, it includes auto-reply to emails tailored to each email so that it does not feel robotic or generalized. Storing information from emails in a standardized data set is another great feature. The user interface is very intuitive and user-friendly. The user interface of SS&C Blue Prism is very intuitive and user-friendly, making it very easy to use all the features. It can be used by any kind of tech-savvy personnel. SS&C Blue Prism has positively impacted our organization as we were able to save at least $10,000 USD per quarter by improving communication to optimize supply chain operations. It also saves two manpower per year by automating email communication.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Development of forms and flows."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"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 stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"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."
"We have a lot of customer requests on a daily basis for different use cases, and we have different processes for that."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
"The key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."
"I find the design studio, where I can build the automation, and the control room feature, which allows me to run and monitor the automation, to be the most useful."
 

Cons

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"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."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."
"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."
"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"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."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
