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.

"The user interface is easy to use."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform."
"We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management."

Cons

"There is a considerable learning curve."

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"Installation could be made easier."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"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."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"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 product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
