Has built-in, existing processes that can be easily modified

In terms of what could be improved, I would not say that the solution itself needs improvement, meaning the product side, but more that the overall approach of the organization does. At the moment there are very few people who can lead training for the product. I think that area needs to improve. They should train more organizations because now they're the only ones that do training. As the product gets more and more customers, it takes longer to schedule a training. They need to get more training providers. The vendor is the only one doing the training. You schedule it in March and you find you can only do training quite far down the line and maybe you also want to do deployment. They're still entering the South African market, but I think now they have enough customers to get other providers so you won't have wait too long for the training before you can start running with the product.

Cons

"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."

"The community edition has limited module functionality."

"It is missing some important features that other products have."

"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."

"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 documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."

"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free.

Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
