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.

Phumi Maduna-Ogbechi

Co-Founder and Managing Director at E&I Business Enterprise

Has built-in, existing processes that can be easily modified

In terms of what could be improved, I would not say that the solution itself needs improvement, meaning the product side, but more that the overall approach of the organization does. At the moment there are very few people who can lead training for the product. I think that area needs to improve. They should train more organizations because now they're the only ones that do training. As the product gets more and more customers, it takes longer to schedule a training. They need to get more training providers. The vendor is the only one doing the training. You schedule it in March and you find you can only do training quite far down the line and maybe you also want to do deployment. They're still entering the South African market, but I think now they have enough customers to get other providers so you won't have wait too long for the training before you can start running with the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

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

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"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."

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

"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."

"Development of forms and flows."

"The user interface is easy to use."

More Bonita pros

"One of the things that I have found most valuable is that it is very easy to use. For example, they have built-in existing processes that you can easily modify."

Cons

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

"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."

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

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

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

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

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

"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."

More Bonita cons

"At the moment there are very few people who can lead training for the product. I think that area needs to improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."

"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."

"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."

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

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
