Bonita vs webMethods.io comparison

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

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

"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."

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

"The solution is easy to use."

"The user interface is easy to use."

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

"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."

"It's a good tool, and it has a stable messaging broker."

"I like the tool's scalability."

"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."

"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."

"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."

"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."

"The product is very stable."

"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."

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

"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."

"The dashboard has limited features."

"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

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

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."

"Installation could be made easier."

"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."

"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."

"The licensing cost is high compared to other options."

"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."

"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."

"I would like to see the price improve."

"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."

"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."

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

"The Community Edition comes free of charge."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

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

"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."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

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

"It is worth the cost."

"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."

"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."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."
