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.

Offers good flexibility to users

Improvements are required in the tool licensing area as it is a bit expensive. The tool's user interface needs improvement. If you don't know the tool as a beginner, it is very hard for you to design the workflow. The interface is actually quite confusing. There are a lot of places we need to configure here and there since there are multiple locations involved. The features or functions available are good enough for me to implement for my business activities. The tool can include topics like AI. I encountered an issue with the tool during the deployment into production. The server itself experienced a slowness-related issue caused by the configuration, where the resources were not enough for TIBCO, not because of the physical server. I raised a ticket with the support team and got some advice from them. I then went to study the server configuration, and finally, I found out that there will be a need to increase the threats in order for the server to process the multiple parallel incoming requests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is easy to use."

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

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

"Bonita is user-friendly."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"Bonita is simple and lightweight and is flexible to integrate with third-party systems. The UI is now flexible, whereas it was previously rigid. Any technology can be used as a frontend, including ReactJS, Angular, and others."

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

"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."

More Bonita pros

"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."

"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."

Cons

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

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

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

"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."

"Installation could be made easier."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"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."

More Bonita cons

"The interface is actually quite confusing."

"An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good."

"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"I am using the free version of Bonita."

More Bonita pricing and cost advice

"For my company, the tool costs about 2,0,000 Euros for three years...If one is bad and ten is good, I rate the price as one out of ten."
