Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 15, 2025

Camunda and ADONIS are both competitive solutions in the process management and automation space. Data comparisons suggest that Camunda’s open-source nature and community support give it an advantage in terms of adaptability, but ADONIS provides a broader range of features and toolsets.

Features: Camunda includes an embeddable process engine compliant with BPMN 2.0 standards. It also offers developer-friendly tools conducive to integration and process automation. ADONIS provides extensive modeling capabilities, business architecture frameworks, and integrated analysis tools, effectively supporting a business-wide approach.

Room for Improvement: Camunda could enhance its graphical user interface and offer more robust built-in analytics capabilities. It might also expand its integration options. ADONIS could benefit from offering a more developer-friendly environment, reducing complexity in deployment, and providing better customization capabilities.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Camunda offers a more streamlined deployment process, appealing to developers and organizations with technical expertise, primarily due to its open-source model and extensive documentation. In contrast, ADONIS excels in providing comprehensive onboarding services and customer support, crucial for organizations in need of direct guidance.

Pricing and ROI: Camunda typically presents a lower initial setup cost because of its open-source offering and community-driven resources. It delivers significant ROI for organizations with technical capabilities. Although ADONIS may have a higher setup cost, its extensive feature range and supportive services aim to justify its pricing, aligning with enterprises seeking comprehensive solutions.

Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining

I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users.

Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling

There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

Pros

"It's a very complete solution."

"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."

"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"

"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."

"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."

"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."

"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."

"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."

"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."

"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."

"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."

"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."

"The graphical interface is very beneficial."

"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."

"It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases."

Cons

"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."

"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."

"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."

"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."

"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."

"ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users."

"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."

"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."

"Would be helpful if there were additional out-of-the-box activities."

"There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible."

"I would like to see better pricing."

"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation."

"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."

"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."

"The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."

"The product’s price is quite competitive."

"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."

"The open-source version of the product is free to use."

"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."

"I use the open-source free version."

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."

"There is a bit of scope for improvement in how the licensing and pricing are done. They are based on the number of processing instances you execute on the cluster... but on the self-hosted mode, the pricing model should be customized."

"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."

"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
