FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Flexible in terms of how the UI assists users working in a variety of roles
Our initial setup was complex because we are guaranteed to have approximately two thousand concurrent users. We began first with a couple of servers, then after a couple of years, as we saw that the usage was going up, we grew both horizontally and vertically. We have a pretty big team here, with fifteen huge processes. I would say that from a development perspective, building one complex process will take a couple of developers, and an additional person is required to exclusively handle the support. There are many factors to it. In our organization, we need 24/7 support because we have trade finances that work in the middle of the night. We require additional support to accommodate people working in shifts. If change requests come in then one developer may be able to handle three processes. In the case of a new requirement, there is normally one developer who works with the team leader that is monitoring the entire setup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"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."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"Camunda serves as an automation library and provides lightweight deployment to the cloud."
"The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation."
"We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill."
"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."
"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"The integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
 

Cons

"We're trying to put the people from the business to do it. We are using APIs, and we have open APIs to define our APIs and the request-response that each call requires and sends. So, to base the mapping on that, there was nothing to help. I know that with some tools, such as Oracle tools, you can see the input and expected output. With drag and drop, you can take one property from the left and drag it to the right, and it does all the mapping itself, but that's not the case with Camunda. So, for me, this is something that can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."
"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"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 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."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"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 have an annual subscription to this solution."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"We use the free version."
"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."
"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
