Saves time; user-friendly environment

Our biggest issue with Oracle BPEL is that it is a monolith. Because it's a monolith, everybody tries to consume its services in a shared infrastructure. Because of this, some companies are trying to migrate to a microservice architecture. We use API gateways to get around these issues. If you want an orchestrator with BPEL and you have an API gateway with a layer of services, you can combine both technologies and try to get the best of both worlds. In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

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

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."

"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."

"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."

More Bonita pros

"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."

"The solution is very seamless and fast."

"The product has everything we need."

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

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

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

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."

More Bonita cons

"In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers."

"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."

"The solution's integration with SAP should be seamless because some formats are not accepted in SAP but are accepted in Oracle BPEL."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"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."

"I believe this is a very good financial choice."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

"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."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"The product is moderately priced."

"The solution's pricing is moderate and not expensive."
