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.

Process modeling has standardized complex banking workflows and drives data‑driven automation decisions

I would assess the impact of process modeling features on operational transparency as a four. I give it a four because of how well the platform could be utilized if one has a license or would be able to access it via collaborative features, and as well be able to communicate, making it less people dependent and more process dependent. A small gap of one is only because if the map has to be shared or if somebody has to work together on a map, similar to how we have Google Forms where more than two people can make changes simultaneously, the map does not allow that. One has to close it, and the next partner can only access the map after I close it. The existing changes are lost if they click on ignore or if they close the diagram. This is one feature which is sometimes bothersome. The gap of one is something that is personal feedback from my end. If someone is a newbie and they are building a map for the first time, they definitely go through a training module. But if somebody is jumping right in to build a map for the first time, which I did more than a couple of years ago, I felt that given the extent to which we have artificial intelligence capabilities right now, it would be nice if whenever you are saving a diagram and if I build it incorrectly in terms of adhering to BPMN 2.0, errors are shown, which is really nice. There are errors and warnings that need to be corrected to adhere to the standards. It is great that it allows me to save, but in order to correct the errors, if I do not understand what the error is trying to tell me. For example, sometimes it says that the element is named wrong. I understand that; it is a verb and noun that is a requirement. But sometimes it says the edge folding is not clear, and despite trying several times, I still do not get it. SAP could consider having AI capabilities to suggest how it can be done immediately on the screen itself, perhaps in the form of a virtual assistant or something. Today, for larger errors, I go to Google to check it and try to understand. If an assistant tells me that I think the arrow may be placed wrong, I think that would help me. It would save time and help me from looking up multiple dictionaries to understand what it is trying to say. At the moment, we are not integrating SAP Signavio Process Manager with existing ERP systems because internally I think we are using multiple enterprise resource planning tools. Because of that, there is a restraint to connect it with SAP Signavio Process Manager, and there is a lot of concern in terms of how data could be used because we work in a banking environment. We are not leveraging, and we have SAP S/4HANA. It would be great if there is a data lake that connects to the process, but at the moment, we do not do that. Every time we build a process, it is picked up by a different team, and they try to connect it with the data lake. It is a great feature which I think can be leveraged, but with the range of legacy systems that the company is using today, there is not much I can comment about how the ERP can be leveraged internally.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."

"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."

"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"

"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."

"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."

"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."

More Bonita pros

"The visual representation is extremely powerful and easy to use in process modeling and analysis. I can show it to someone who doesn't know business process mapping, and they still understand because it's visually presented. It becomes easy to explain variants and what needs to change."

"The features I find most valuable are ease of use and the Collaboration Hub."

"It's easy and fast; it's very quick to work with process teams in terms of improving processes, and this has made it easier for people to adopt because when we scrambled the process team together and started a process of improvement, it improved their process, they are much more involved than they had been earlier, and they can also use Signavio to make smaller improvements in the process for themselves."

"Especially in a company like ours, the product development process is very complicated; it's very complex, and Signavio helps us to make the product development process clearer, faster, and better."

"When comparing my experience with Celonis and Signavio, I can discern the distinctions between these two platforms. However, I'm unable to differentiate between ARAs and add-ons, as that falls outside my scope of familiarity. Regarding Celonis, it comes with its set of advantages and disadvantages. Notably, it boasts robust features like action flows, task mining, and seamless integration with AML programming. Conversely, Signavio lacks action flows and instead relies on action segments and tasks for interaction. This discrepancy is a significant factor setting Selenium and SecureView apart. In the context of Signavio, it offers a combination of BPMN and process discovery, a feature absent in Celonis. This tandem of BPMN and process insight contributes to Signavio’S potency. Meanwhile, Celonis primarily features the process miner tool, setting it apart from Signavio. These variations collectively outline the numerous differences existing between Celonis and Signavio."

"The ability to leave comments in the Collaboration Hub is a good and easy way for the employees to give feedback on the processes."

"Process management/Process governance is what we think Signavio is very good at."

"Signavio is excellent for increasing process transparency by offering a single source of truth."

Cons

"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."

"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."

"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."

"The community edition has limited module functionality."

More Bonita cons

"There could be something more on the reporting side of it for the processes you have captured or processes that might be work in progress to see where to target your effort because you don't always have lots of resources to spare"

"I would like to be able to include images in the documentation."

"The performance metrics appearing in the collaboration hub needs to be improved."

"I would like to be able to link a single word within a textual description directly to the glossary."

"Migrating some models from the legacy system — that was seven years out of date — wasn't as simple as I thought it would be."

"If you're going to use the tool the way I'm using it, which is to work with businesses and capture what they're thinking, it would be helpful to be able to insert other objects onto a diagram."

"There are some small graphical bugs, but they are addressed immediately by Signavio to their product development team."

"Typically, a business process management suite would cover the whole lifecycle, from discovery to optimization and operations. I think the latter part is missing, where SAP Connector comes in."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

"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."

"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."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"SAP Signavio charges a lot of money."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The solution is quite expensive compared to other vendors."

"The product is expensive."

"SaaS has no setup cost, just licensing fees."

"Lower than the competition with highly flexible licensing plans."

"Comparatively, it is a bit costly when you look at similar tools with similar features."

"Although Signavio is a feature-rich solution, it is expensive for companies who haven’t reached a certain maturity level in their process management initiatives."
