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.

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 feature of Azure Automation is the scripting."
"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
"It is a scalable product. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The UI is very user-friendly compared to other products. The native, vanilla UI is very interesting and intuitive to use. It's user-friendly when it comes to modernizing a business process."
"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."
"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."
"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation. More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
