Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the features I like is that when drawing any task, when putting a task on the process model canvas, I can simply click on it and see the other task icons for that task. It's just one quick, simple, straightforward connectivity from task to task."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"Agility, reverse engineering, customized portal web, help desk and user guides, easy deployment, simple to modify."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"The amount of control that this solution provides is great."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"What I find most valuable is the flexibility, I find it very easy to use and very flexible for my purpose. I can use it without any particular problem, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Development of forms and flows."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"The user interface 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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
 

Cons

"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"I would like to see more in terms of analytics and better reporting."
"The solution needs to make it easier to use RPA products on it. They may need an RPA specific interface. It would be better than having to make an RPA tool to use for viewing. Most of our work is about making RPA tools with the Bizagi, not using Bizagi itself."
"The solution's interface could be a bit more user-friendly and I would like to see more integrations with other Office products, not just Office 365."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"It needs an easier setup for the Bizagi Engine."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"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."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"It is only necessary to pay for licenses when ready to deploy applications to production."
"Make sure that your requirements are explicitly defined from the outset. This will help you choose the right setup and licensing for your needs."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"This is a free solution."
"We didn't use the licensed versions where you could exactly go into automatization. However, we looked at the pricing in the beginning, and the only thing that I remember is that it was too expensive for the things we were using because our clients would also have to license the product. One client said that it was too expensive for the benefit they get out of it."
"The pricing model is good; I believe it's free for up to 20 users, and then they start charging. I hear the solution can get quite expensive, however."
"I was using the free version."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
