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

"The graphical interface is very beneficial."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"The product is stable."
"We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill."
"Camunda is a scalable product."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"The platform's approach to BPMN modeling is straightforward and versatile, making it easy to adopt and use effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."
"​Processes become clearer, easier to understand, and easier to spot in development areas."
"It makes communication easier due to transparency on processes."
 

Cons

"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."
"While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning."
"I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself."
"Documentation can be improved."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"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

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"We use a community 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."
"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We use the free version."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
