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.
Erick Kathurima - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"The product has a good task management engine."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."
"The use of Java is a big plus for our intern developers, and Camunda scales well, as many of our departments are already using it in production with dedicated teams."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"This solution has given us a quick time to market, the ability to integrate with the rest of the corporate applications, and the ability to hire talent in low-cost locations."
"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
"It has developmental accelerators, which allow for virtually any customization needs which you may require."
"We selected this solution not only for the BPM but for the entire package."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."
"It is easy and cheap."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
 

Cons

"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"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."
"Documentation can be improved."
"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."
"It could have easier administration. It takes time to configure and deploy."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."
"The licensing model is good."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."
