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

"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."
"We were able to build our rules-based API engine, and it does exactly what we wanted it to."
"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 most valuable features are the ease of use and the ability to streamline a process model on a BPM diagram."
"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"
"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."
"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."
"Enterprise architecture and a positive sense of understanding soon reached everyone."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"I like the solution's traceability."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"The development team had a lot of issues at the start. Guaranteeing the execution times that it will work to is difficult."
"I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"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."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
