Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years
I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable features are its real-time messaging and collaboration tools."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"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."
"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."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"The way to create workflows is straightforward, which is one of the major benefits of the Camunda platform."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in its user interface, especially in simplifying navigation across different features."
"When you have a lot of processes running, it becomes very expensive very quickly."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"Documentation can be improved. Right now, the documentation isn't properly organized."
"Stability-wise, Camunda is good, but sometimes task queries get very slow when we have a large number of tasks."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is generally competitive."
"I use the open-source free version."
"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"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."
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"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."
