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.

Offers good flexibility to users
Improvements are required in the tool licensing area as it is a bit expensive. The tool's user interface needs improvement. If you don't know the tool as a beginner, it is very hard for you to design the workflow. The interface is actually quite confusing. There are a lot of places we need to configure here and there since there are multiple locations involved. The features or functions available are good enough for me to implement for my business activities. The tool can include topics like AI. I encountered an issue with the tool during the deployment into production. The server itself experienced a slowness-related issue caused by the configuration, where the resources were not enough for TIBCO, not because of the physical server. I raised a ticket with the support team and got some advice from them. I then went to study the server configuration, and finally, I found out that there will be a need to increase the threats in order for the server to process the multiple parallel incoming requests.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend the solution to anyone."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."
"The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."
"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."
"Camunda BPM allows us to have a BPM bot with our own UI, and that's what we liked most about Camunda."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The setup cost is definitely reasonable."
 

Cons

"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
"Documentation can be improved. Right now, the documentation isn't properly organized."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"For .NET I have opinion that need more real life examples."
"The upfront enterprise-level support could have been better."
"Camunda needs to improve its user interface for low-code development and provide more user interface options beyond the basic workflow."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
"An artificial intelligence feature that evaluates the quality of the code developed with one click would definitely be good."
"The interface is actually quite confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"For my company, the tool costs about 2,0,000 Euros for three years...If one is bad and ten is good, I rate the price as one out of ten."
