Offers good flexibility to users

Improvements are required in the tool licensing area as it is a bit expensive. The tool's user interface needs improvement. If you don't know the tool as a beginner, it is very hard for you to design the workflow. The interface is actually quite confusing. There are a lot of places we need to configure here and there since there are multiple locations involved. The features or functions available are good enough for me to implement for my business activities. The tool can include topics like AI. I encountered an issue with the tool during the deployment into production. The server itself experienced a slowness-related issue caused by the configuration, where the resources were not enough for TIBCO, not because of the physical server. I raised a ticket with the support team and got some advice from them. I then went to study the server configuration, and finally, I found out that there will be a need to increase the threats in order for the server to process the multiple parallel incoming requests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is easy to use."

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"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."

"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."

"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."

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

"Development of forms and flows."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

More Bonita pros

"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."

"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."

Cons

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

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

"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

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

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

More Bonita cons

"The interface is actually quite confusing."

"An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

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

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"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'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."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"For my company, the tool costs about 2,0,000 Euros for three years...If one is bad and ten is good, I rate the price as one out of ten."
