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.
Jaideep MS - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."
 

Cons

"The product does not have a dictionary."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
