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."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."
"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"The platform's approach to BPMN modeling is straightforward and versatile, making it easy to adopt and use effectively."
"Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"Camunda could be improved by making it easier to modify a process. You can program it to follow a process, but it is difficult to modify the process when the application is in use. It could also be improved by making it easier to use the visual platform without needing to be informed on that. Sometimes, we programmers haven't used it in the past, and it's a bit difficult to learn it."
"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."
