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

"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."

"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."

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

"Development of forms and flows."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Bonita is user-friendly."

More Bonita pros

"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."

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

Cons

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"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 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."

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

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

"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."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

More Bonita cons

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."

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

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

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

"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"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."

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."
