Featured Reviews

CristianoGomes - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
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.
Ahmed-Ragab - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior DevOps & Release Management Engineer at EBC
Facilitates task management with effective approval processes and modern integration capabilities
It facilitates processes by sending notifications to relevant individuals who need to take action regarding requests. There is a very good approval hierarchy in place. Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests. It is also easy to integrate with many other tools, like Nintex and Azure DevOps, using APIs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us."
"The flexibility is great."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"We are very strongly recommending Camunda BPM; it is good, it is easy, the community is good, and there is a lot of support if you are stuck anywhere."
"We were able to build our rules-based API engine, and it does exactly what we wanted it to."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use, it isn't hard to understand, and there are lots of features you can use out of the box."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."
 

Cons

"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"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."
"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"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."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself."
"When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS."
"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
