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

"The solution is easy to use."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"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."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"Overall, I would rate OpenText 360 for SharePoint as ten."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance. The solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs."
"The fact that it allows for the internal sharing of information is very good."
 

Cons

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"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."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"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 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."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"In the future, I would like to see new features in SharePoint for improved project tracking processes."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."
"OpenText 360 is generally stable, though there are sometimes issues with document size or format."
"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"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 Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"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 price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"It has a reasonable price."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
