Bonita vs webMethods.io comparison

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

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

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

"The solution is easy to use."

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

"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."

"Development of forms and flows."

"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."

"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."

"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."

"The tool helps us to streamline data integration. Its BPM is very strong and powerful. The solution helps us manage digital transformation."

"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."

"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."

"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."

"WebMethods.io is a powerful tool, but it requires skilled people who can fully utilize its potential."

"It integrates well with various servers."

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

"Installation could be made easier."

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

"We are struggling a bit with integrations."

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."

"There is a considerable learning curve."

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

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"

"I have noticed that webMethods ActiveTransfer has had problems when handling large files. For example, when we receive (and perform operations on) files that are larger than about 16 MB, the software starts losing performance."

"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."

"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."

"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."

"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"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."

"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."

"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."

"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."

"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."
