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.

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."
"Camunda seems to have a lot of traction, maturity, and stability. It also matches the need for agile development."
"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."
"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."
"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features."
"The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface."
"We had great service directly from QPR."
"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
"Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
 

Cons

"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."
"On the other hand, if I were rating it for use by the public then I would rate it a three out of ten."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"Camunda could be improved by making it easier to modify a process. You can program it to follow a process, but it is difficult to modify the process when the application is in use. It could also be improved by making it easier to use the visual platform without needing to be informed on that. Sometimes, we programmers haven't used it in the past, and it's a bit difficult to learn it."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"There is definitely a need to produce models in XML. There is already something available, but it seems that transferring between the different modelling tools is difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"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 license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
