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.

Enterprise Architect at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees
Works as a reference for architecture but not very intuitive
We use the solution as a reference for architecture so that we can connect business data applications. The tool helps us to know how these applications should be built. We use it mainly as reference material.  I like the solution's traceability.  The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."
"They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot."
"Camunda is the best among similar solutions like JBPM and Activiti."
"Camunda's support for BPMN 2.0 is a great advantage because it allows us to have a common language to discuss technology and business in the same perspective."
"Based on other products, we've found the most appropriate results coming out from the Camunda BPM engine."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"We have seen that investing in a tool like Camunda is valuable, especially because it's an open-source product."
"Enterprise architecture and a positive sense of understanding soon reached everyone."
"I like the solution's traceability."
"It is stable and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The latency of API could be decreased."
"Right now we are trying to solve problems with the Camunda Cloud and there are significant problems with performance."
"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."
"The upfront enterprise-level support could have been better."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"Support is an area that is in need of improvement."
"The development team had a lot of issues at the start. Guaranteeing the execution times that it will work to is difficult."
"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
"In the previous version, the web interface was unstable."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"We use the free version."
"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."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
