The user interface is easy to use, and the product performs well, but the dashboard and the monitoring features are limited

Something I would like to see improved in Pipefy is the dashboards. They are good, but they are a little limited. This point is important, and I would also like to see a bit more clarity in the use of AI tokens. Pipefy already offers connection and artificial intelligence tools that help you with your forms and make the process much more intuitive, but it is still a bit obscure regarding consumption, how that consumption occurs, and how to build this in a way that is relatively economical. Another important thing is related to cost. Pipefy's license cost is a high cost compared to other players in the market, but so far it has been worth it. Another thing I would suggest is if they had a white-label option where we could put a bit more of the company's identity. Pipefy already is white label, but the customization options are a little more limited. Turning that into a more attractive page would be nice for some companies so that we can incorporate it into our portals.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"In general, Bonita is a very good solution."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"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."
"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."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"Throughout the whole time I used Pipefy, I liked it a lot, it is very practical and very fast, and I never had problems."
"Overall, Pipefy helped create more predictable, organized, and scalable operational processes."
"Pipefy has impacted my organization positively as we have not reduced our headcount, but we could if we wanted to because the number of people managing those processes before Pipefy was a lot."
"Since using Pipefy, I estimate that we have saved 50% in time and costs."
"The specific positive outcome I noticed after using Pipefy is that the visual infrastructure makes the operationalization process easier with the teams."
"Pipefy has impacted my organization positively by allowing us to orchestrate everything within the company."
"Before Pipefy, there was no process at the last company I worked at for the onboarding process, so with the arrival of Pipefy and the standardization of processes, we achieved excellent results, such as the implementation SLA, which used to be six months and went down to thirty days."
"The way Pipefy has had a positive impact on my organization is that the major positive impact was being able to visualize the project as a whole, not only at the micro level, but also at the macro level."
 

Cons

"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"At times Bonita BPM Studio crashes, intermittently."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"BPMN 2.0 notations are not all supported, would love to see them all coming in (e.g. complex gateway)."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"Sometimes there are errors such as outages or instabilities in Pipefy. Sometimes I have to log in two to three times a day."
"Overall, I had a positive experience with Pipefy, but I think there are still some areas that could be improved."
"Pipefy can be improved with processes not only following Kanban styles but other kinds of processes that have more paths, not just a single, direct path, but they have bifurcations."
"Pipefy can be improved by creating a more complete integration with WhatsApp."
"In my opinion, Pipefy could be improved by enhancing the way of configuring the information in the email we receive, as sometimes the information in the email is not complete compared to what is on the card."
"In other departments, I had the opportunity to observe that there was a high volume of cards and many phases, so navigation got a bit slow and even required excessive scrolling to locate them."
"I believe Pipefy can be improved by clarifying the API calls and making packages for API calls more accessible, because in my organization we have a lot of automation, but we have few API calls, precisely because we have a fixed plan and the organization, in fact, does not need that."
"Although Pipefy is a great platform, I find that there are certain areas where it could be improved, especially the registration process, which leaves a lot to be desired as its complexity makes the entire sign-up process time-consuming and cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"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."
