Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""One of the most valuable features is you can create without coding, it is a low code platform.""The user interface is easy to use.""I really enjoy using the workflow management.""Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness.""Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable.""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."

"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless.""I like the feature of getting an email for a workflow error, then I do not have to go through every instance.""The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform.""With an extensive list of integrations with LOB data, your workflows can extend far beyond SharePoint, driving adoption of SharePoint.""The most valuable features of this solution are that it's no code, it's very flexible, and it's easy to design.""The setup is easy.""The workflow engine of K2 is its main strength. Its workflow engine is probably one of the best, and that's the reason why Nintex bought K2. It can clearly handle any complex process or scenario. K2 is almost low-code. It is a no-code or low-code solution. You don't have to read a whole lot of code. It is pretty much GUI based. Their support is also excellent. The biggest advantage of K2 is SmartObjects, which allow you to separate the data from the application. It is a standalone application that allows you to build a data source from different places, which a lot of other applications also do. It is called SmartObjects technology, which is pretty powerful. If I have data from different applications, such as JD and ServiceNow, I can just create a SmartObject based on a data source and use it. I have some forms that have six, seven, or eight applications in a single form with data from different places.""Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."

Cons
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity.""I would like to improve the product's load balancing.""There is a considerable learning curve.""Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product.""There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components.""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.""I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation.""It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."

More Bonita Cons →

"I think it was lacking a little bit in its multiple in-house processes and other processes. So there is a little bit of a gap in collaboration.""The solution needs more RPA and AI features.""Converting a document from PDF to MS Word, or vice versa, needs to be improved.""Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible.""The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement.""We cannot use the same solution on cloud.""The solution is a bit too expensive. It could be cheaper.""We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."

  • "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."
