Room For Improvement

Camunda needs UI enhancements, improved integration, scalability, security, better support, flexible deployment, and a revised pricing model.
SAP Signavio needs UI improvements, flexible licensing, better integration, enhanced analytics, and scalable pricing for effective workflow management.
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible.
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
It should also integrate with non-SAP systems for better functionality.
 

Setup Cost

Camunda provides free open-source and costly enterprise versions, offering enhanced features and support, with enterprise fees escalating by usage.
SAP Signavio Process Manager is valuable but expensive, with flexible pricing, suitable for larger organizations due to scale.
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.
There is a licensing cost for using the SaaS model and Enterprise edition of Camunda.
After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford.
 

Valuable Features

Camunda excels in scalable, flexible process automation with wide standards coverage, integration options, and user-friendly graphical interface.
SAP Signavio Process Manager enhances process efficiency through integration, collaboration, and intuitive modeling, supporting global access and optimization.
ECS also allows for horizontal scalability with thresholds that can be configured for CPU or memory.
The biggest difference between Camunda and Bonita might be that Camunda is simpler and more flexible for setting.
The ability to perform queries is a feature unique to SAP Signavio Process Manager, and it proves to be very useful for our needs.

FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.
Enas Selim - PeerSpot reviewer
Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools
The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.
