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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"Installation could be made easier."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
