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.
Hafiz Muhammad Usama - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager Mobility & Digitalization at Fatima group
Have experienced challenges integrating with other systems but have benefited from improved process automation
There are multiple areas that need improvement. Nintex Process Platform needs integration with other platforms such as Salesforce and other CRM platforms. There should be actions available so we can directly integrate with these systems. Additionally, there is a gap in mathematical actions and logical actions. We need to parse data, and if we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string. Such actions and logical actions must be available in Nintex Process Platform to increase its capability. For us, Nintex Process Platform is configurable with SQL Server, but there is no configuration option available with Oracle. We also use Oracle in multiple processes, but we have found no way to directly configure Nintex Process Platform with Oracle. We have to use SQL Server in between. We have to create a link server within SQL Server as a bypass to retrieve or post data into Oracle. There were multiple improvement points available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"Bonita is user-friendly, and the features are useful."
"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 solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email.​"
"The solution in general is very easy to use, very user-friendly, and it has satisfied the requirements I have."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"NWC forms could be better. Also, the ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable. The forms feature just isn’t as functional as the forms for SharePoint."
"As a Solutions Architect my role is to help my clients implement tools and technology that can build and automate their businesses."
"This tool set makes it easy to integrate current processes and increase adoption rates and usage for the tool, as well as the process changes to update it on the fly."
"Able to automate business processes and help reduce a significant amount of development efforts."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
 

Cons

"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"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."
"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."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"The solution is heavy and cumbersome and it has a very stringent way of doing things."
"It didn't calculate the designs I needed."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"The price is too high currently for the license structure."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"NWC forms could be better. The ability to build workflows that are not dependent on SharePoint is very desirable."
"The solution does not integrate with many platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"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."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"Prices for licenses of K2 are high."
"Nintex Workflow is more expensive than Microsoft's native products, but it is still considered moderately priced when compared to higher-end products such as K2."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"The price of this solution is affordable but the problem in Algeria is our community is a bit slower. The new clients might feel the solution is a bit expensive."
"This solution is affordable and is cheaper than most alternatives on the market. We have a standard cloud license that costs about 20k per year."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
