Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 15, 2025

Camunda and BiZZdesign HoriZZon are key players in business process management and enterprise architecture. Camunda has the upper hand due to its active community and ease of building workflows.

Features: Camunda offers lightweight architecture, scalability, and BPMN compliance, making it highly adaptable with robust REST API and open-source accessibility. It allows for easy workflow creation with reusable components. BiZZdesign HoriZZon is strong in enterprise architecture management with flexibility in modeling standards like ArchiMate and strategic planning tools.

Room for Improvement: Camunda could improve its proprietary UI and form creation tools, provide clearer documentation, and enhance support for additional programming languages. BiZZdesign HoriZZon could benefit from better integration capabilities, improved usability of its REST APIs, and more competitive pricing, along with a more intuitive user interface and enhanced technical support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Camunda supports flexible deployment for both on-premises and cloud environments with open-source community engagement but faces challenges in technical support. In contrast, BiZZdesign HoriZZon is cloud-based and offers dedicated enterprise-level support, known for being responsive and efficient.

Pricing and ROI: Camunda is considered cost-effective, especially for startups using its open-source model, but substantial growth may lead to increased costs due to a per-process pricing model. Users find BiZZdesign HoriZZon expensive, although both products deliver positive ROI by effectively supporting complex processes and modeling.

Enterprise Architect at Tata Consultancy

Helps to get a clear overview of our enterprise architecture, especially when dealing with multiple departments

One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs. While the platform offers REST APIs, they have limitations when it comes to retrieving and exporting data. Obtaining detailed information at the individual application or component level, including IDs, costs, and deployment-related data, can be challenging through these APIs. This limitation makes it difficult to smoothly export such granular data. I have raised this issue with the BiZZdesign team, and they expressed interest in addressing it, but I'm not aware of the current status of this improvement effort. Nonetheless, improving the usability and flexibility of the REST APIs for data extraction is an area that could enhance the platform's capabilities.

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 feature I find most valuable is that the start times and loading times are short. It takes only a few seconds to load the repository and whenever I want to open diagrams, they are there almost immediately."

"The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon include the diagrammatic representation of BPMN models, which I find good for modeling, and things such as capability maps."

"The tool's most valuable feature is that its collaboration part is very good."

"The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon, from my experience, include its out-of-the-box connectors, such as integration with ServiceNow, Excel, and SQL databases, making data repository management more efficient."

"The powerful editing function in teamwork project-based, common or shared modeling, based on a powerful repository and knowledge sharing in a portal are the most valuable features. These are the most important features for me. I can add the integration of individual modeling notations like Archimate plus BPMN and DMN, and so on. We travel from one location to another and the tool allows us to keep track."

"It is very easy to use. I can just click on an application component and find out if we are using this particular component. This provides us flexibility."

"The initial setup of this solution was very straightforward."

"This is one of the best tools, especially because of its collaborative nature. Anyone using it can access previous projects and related data. It's definitely a strong collaborative tool."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon pros

"The product has a good task management engine."

"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 most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."

"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."

"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."

"It is an absolutely stable solution."

"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."

"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."

More Camunda pros

Cons

"The ability to generate charts and deal with a use case involving Kibana was quite difficult."

"I have seen table charts where, if the chart is a little too big, it does not fit in HoriZZon and it is not at all visible... There have been several times where we could not publish a chart properly and we had to break the chart into small tables and create multiple artifacts, creating a complete mess. This should be seriously taken up by BiZZdesign because there is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of usability. It's not at all good, unfortunately."

"We tested it, and we had support from BiZZdesign, including patches, but it just didn't do what we wanted."

"There is room for improvement in making it more seamless between the modeling and the analysis pieces. Sometimes you have to do some work in the backend to ensure that the HoriZZon portal really gets all of the information the way you want it. They are working on the seamlessness between what they call Enterprise Studio and HoriZZon."

"The automatic data collection and interface need improvement."

"It takes a long time to learn and understand, which is a learning curve you have to go through, but once you know how it works, it's very nice to work with."

"It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling."

"It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon cons

"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."

"We have faced problems with the performance."

"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."

"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."

"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."

"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."

"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."

More Camunda cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."

"First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."

"I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."

"If one is very cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a seven out of ten."

"[The] Orbus... pricing model was based on every single functionality having a price. The pricing was comparable but if we wanted to scale, it would have ended up being a lot more expensive. BiZZdesign gave us one price with all of the functionality, and we could scale as much as we needed."

"The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."

"We were customers and bought licenses from them. We used their remote instance initially but upgraded to the on-device version due to lag. For pricing, we paid about 2200 pounds a year per seat for the client installation at an educational rate. I'm not sure about commercial rates. I managed to get a free copy at BBC since it was for evaluation purposes."

"In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."

"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."

"We use the free version."

"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."

"We use a community version."

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

"Camunda's pricing is good."

"We have an annual subscription to this solution."

"The product's price depends on the number of processes that need to be automated or where the orchestration part needs to be used. The product is affordable for medium and large enterprises."
