Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I really enjoy using the workflow management.""The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried.""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.""We use the tool to validate and give access to the users. It is for access management.""This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly.""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.""The solution is easy to use."

"vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library.""The backup and recovery times are very quick.""The DRS feature from VMware is very valuable to us because it balances workloads.""The most valuable feature is how easy it makes it to manage the VM.""Technical support is helpful.""The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN.""Because of the central management, the scripting engine and workflow engine are integrated with VMware without any burden to integrate different products.""We can scale the solution."

Cons
"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.""Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product.""The dashboard has limited features.""It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone.""Installation could be made easier.""It is missing some important features that other products have.""I would like to improve the product's load balancing.""We are struggling a bit with integrations."

More Bonita Cons →

"I would like to see more automation added in the future.""A feature to review and setup tasks should be added.""There are no good manuals or guidelines on integrations. Hence, you need to be asking someone.""The product lacks GUIs. The tool should have more GUIs available, along with easier product documentation.""The product’s cost needs improvement.""The solution's price could be cheaper.""The response time of vCenter Orchestrator's support could be improved.""Many times, customers' licenses are not used because the client is not aware of the features and the product benefits. When somebody is buying a product, they just do a default configuration."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
  • "Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
  • "I believe this is a very good financial choice."
  • "The Community Edition comes free of charge."
  • "We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
  • "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."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable."
  • "The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."

  • "Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
