Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness.""It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications.""Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy.""We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management.""The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable.""Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable.""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.""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."

More Bonita Pros →

"It creates workflows to handle business processes. It allows us to route approvals to users without human intervention.""We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality.""I find it useful to utilize LDAP query action to find out the status of a particular user.""K2 is reasonably priced.""Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use.""The technical support is very good.""It leverages the out-of-the-box SharePoint back-end. This means that you don’t need to install or deploy additional infrastructure to support Nintex Workflow, unlike some of its competitors.""Out of box connectivity with UiPath."

Cons
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone.""I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation.""There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity.""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.""Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product.""It is missing some important features that other products have.""There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components.""The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

More Bonita Cons →

"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible.""The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general.""The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement.""Hawkeye is emerging as a reporting solution, but as a V1 product it’s not very useful yet.""The Workflow Designer needs improvement.""User interface could use some improvement. Perhaps integration with Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer would be useful.""​Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting.​""The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."

  • "The Community Edition comes free of charge."

Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition.

  • More Bonita Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."
  • "Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
  • "Our maintenance costs are reduced."
  • "The annual support costs are expensive."
  • "Comparatively, it's expensive."
  • "We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
  • "The initial investment in K2 is heavy. Currently, the expenditure is $28,000 for a year. After we go to the cloud, it is going to be per seat and probably cheaper. Currently, there are unlimited users."
  • "There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."
