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 number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"We evaluated Appian for my current job but it's less beneficial if your aim is to have your customers at the front end, and we took the middle road when we went with Camunda and the flexibility it offers is a big advantage for us."
"The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"We chose to use Camunda because it's open-source, easy to develop, and scalable, plus we were able to develop some of the enterprise features offered with the license in-house only."
"We were able to build our rules-based API engine, and it does exactly what we wanted it to."
"The flexibility is great and I appreciate the compact and clear source code."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"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

"I do not think Camunda is the best option on the market, because there are many other features available in other tools like Bizagi and Pega."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."
"Camunda doesn't have a strong forms designer."
"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."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"In the previous version, the web interface was unstable."
"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."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"It is good for a startup. When we started, its price was fair, but the way we are using it to orchestrate microservices makes it expensive. When you are growing as a company, you would have more microservices, and you would have more users. There is an exponential effect when you are growing in terms of the number of conditions, processes, and users because they bill you per process. So, the price was increasing very quickly for us, and it was very difficult."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
