Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version.

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.
Daksh Yamal - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Infosys
Centralized incident response has cut noise, improved morale, and protects revenue every day
PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers robust features including centralized alerting and incident response, on-call scheduling and escalation, automated remediation and runbooks, stakeholder communication during major incidents, and automation capability. Everything has been working exceptionally well with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The features have been excellent. It is a spanning tool that has enabled us to operationalize reliability. Since rolling it out three years ago, we have cut MTTR by 35% and reduced on-call noise by 70% through AIOps correlation. For us, the main value of PagerDuty Operations Cloud lies less in paging and more in coordination, automation, and reducing the operational burden on engineers. Reducing the operational burden has improved morale among our engineers. They have been able to focus on other projects and tasks since they have saved considerable time, and consequently productivity in the organization has greatly improved. We have also seen faster incident response, lower MTTR, reduced alert noise, and decreased on-call burnout. Additionally, automation has reduced manual toil, with approximately 25 of our P2 incidents now being resolved or partially resolved by automation before an engineer touches them.
