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

"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"Customer Service: Very good, also the commercial team !Technical Support: Perfect ! and the community is a great help also"
"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 tool."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The setup is easy."
"It's easy to learn. However, there is very little content available for the Nintex also, but they are providing their own documentation and all. So, it's easy to learn also."
"Its enhanced usability makes it the best of the lot."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding, and because it's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with, it was easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"It has a lot of features for creating and managing workflows, as well as for integrating with other applications. Nintex offers features, particularly to ensure a user-friendly experience."
"We contacted the technical support team a couple of times last year."
"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."
"It supports SharePoint in the platform, and it's easy to customize to the maximum extent."
 

Cons

"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"The tool lacks to offer support for the Arabic language, and it needs consideration."
"I would also like to see the BPM features from Pega implemented, that have to do with the implementation of AI, and the robotics."
"I have used Pega and I feel that it offers more than the K2 solution, in terms of the latest technology."
"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit."
"Currently, a notable challenge lies in the alignment of user experiences across the eight or nine applications within the suite. Transitioning between applications can be somewhat cumbersome due to varying user interfaces. However, the provider is actively addressing this concern by consistently rolling out updates every four to five months, aimed at harmonizing and streamlining the interfaces. This ongoing effort is expected to enhance the user experience over time. In terms of functionality and features, the platform stands out, offering flexibility with the option for both on-premises and cloud deployment. This flexibility extends to the RPA tool, providing clients with choices tailored to their preferences. An advantage lies in the shared security and data infrastructure across the toolset, facilitating smooth data transfer between applications. This contrasts with experiences with Oracle, where data transfer may involve complexities such as the need for intermediary file formats like TXL or SCZ."
"It's very tedious to manage, so they should ensure that everything is integrated and taken care of."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"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 of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
"Our maintenance costs are reduced."
"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."
"Nintex is around INR 200 per license in India, which is much cheaper. Smaller organizations are always looking for cost-effective solutions, and Nintex provides local solutions with very low pricing."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"The product’s price is competitive compared to other vendors."
"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."
