ROI

Sentiment score
6.7
Organizations using Camunda noted increased productivity, reduced costs, and time savings, with varied long-term financial expectations.
Sentiment score
5.6
PagerDuty Operations Cloud improves efficiency, reduces downtime, and enhances performance by automating alerts and streamlining incident management.
Camunda should manage that very well because their whole suite enables that, especially to look at every instance of the process and see where that is within the process, what stage it is at, and which actions are still pending.

The escalation was not possible at all before, which led to the L1 team being under too much stress.
Software Developer at Webspruce
The alert reduction feature has greatly impacted our ability to prevent costly incidents, as we can accurately respond to alerts with the help of autonomous AI agents, which reduces erroneous notifications.
Sr.Devops engineer at Scaler
We definitely save time with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. It saves more than half an hour—30 minutes—for each incident.

Room For Improvement

Camunda users seek enhanced BPM basics, dynamic forms, mobile app, security, UI improvements, better integrations, and expanded support.
Enhancing configuration, integration, UI, AI capabilities, and reducing alert noise can improve PagerDuty's cost-effectiveness and user experience.
For our implementation, the only issue we have encountered is that when it comes to scaling with external tasks, it struggles on Camunda 7.
Principal Solutions Architect at BT - British Telecom
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
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.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
It would be useful to have a way to define all configurations in code that is similar to how Terraform operates.
Sr Director - Global Support APJ at HashiCorp
With many new members, they need training to set up runbook workflows, event orchestration, and manage complex on-call schedules across 23 services, making it a challenge for new users.
Senior SRE at IBM
Additionally, I think a sandbox mode would be helpful for new team members, allowing us to guide them in simulating alerts, performing escalation policies, and creating PagerDuty Operations Cloud channels.
Dev Ops Engineer | Cloud Cost Optimization at HCLSoftware
 

Setup Cost

Camunda's open-source is free, but enterprise edition costs up to $100,000, offering support and enhanced features.
PagerDuty Operations Cloud pricing is competitive with flexible plans, but costs may rise for larger teams and advanced features.
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
I do not know if it is just not possible to run the whole environment at a rate that would be affordable.
Freelance Consultant at a media company with self employed
While it might be too expensive for smaller business use cases, if we can automate and have high-value cases, then Camunda's pricing makes sense.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
I had around seven users part of it for a base pricing of around $450 per user, primarily for custom workflows and the ITSM part.
Senior SRE at IBM
The pricing for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit expensive, especially for startups like us, compared to the other platform which I mentioned, which is Rootly.
Dev Ops Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Licensing is straightforward but scaling seats for larger teams can get expensive, especially when adding advanced features.

The coexistence that Camunda allows is important because we are connected, using it as an orchestrator for domain controllers and various automation platforms, both legacy and new, ensuring we are independent and can operate across domains.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
It integrates with multiple applications and is highly customizable, with policies, escalation procedures, and an event routing tool that ensures contacting the right person.
Sr Director - Global Support APJ at HashiCorp
In addition to those features, I also find the integration and reporting aspects of PagerDuty Operations Cloud valuable, as it records all triggered calls and incidents, enabling us to analyze patterns and identify the times when systems go down, thus assisting us in understanding and addressing the underlying causes.
Senior Business Application Analyst (Product Team) at Kotak Mahindra Bank
Before, setting up everything was very difficult. Now, we don't have to think about it. We can simply set it up in PagerDuty and it works.

Featured Reviews

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.

Unified incident response has reduced alert noise and improves on-call focus and coordination
PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve its noise reduction by making deduplication and suppression more automated instead of manually tuned, and the service dependency graph could be more intuitive with cleaner visuals and easier-to-understand root cause tracing during major incidents. Automation could go further with smarter runbook triggers and AI-driven suggestions to help find root causes, which could save a lot of time for engineers who are struggling to understand what is actually happening. These AI capabilities could lower the time by maybe 50–60%. Analytics and reporting could be more flexible, allowing custom dashboards and filters and team-level MTTA and MTTR breakdowns, so that it is segregated based on teams and it is much easier to have custom dashboards for the teams to understand more. Alert storms were a recurring frustration for the on-call team, and escalation overrides and service dependency graphs can get a bit confusing in larger environments. More customizable analytics and smarter automation would make the platform even easier, more flexible and more powerful for the team to understand. PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve its analytics flexibility with customized dashboards and AI capabilities to be more trained and more reliable. Service dependency mapping can also feel cluttered in big environments, making it harder to trace upstream and downstream impacts during bigger incidents. We implemented PagerDuty Operations Cloud's AI to help with alert grouping and early incident insights, but accuracy was not consistent enough to rely on during critical events. It occasionally grouped unrelated alerts or missed correlations, which limited the operational efficiency gains we expected. The on-call team still depended heavily on manual triage because AI suggestions were not always aligned with the real root cause. Overall, AI added some value but it has not yet reached the reliability needed to significantly improve the incident response efficiency. It needs more training or more work.
