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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"Development of forms and flows."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"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."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Installation could be made easier."
"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 dashboard has limited features."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"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."
"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."
