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.

An easy-to-use solution with great integration
It involves a lot of investment. The learning curve is not similar to other products, like K2. Regarding the user interface, I have to access workflows and define and manage the processes on the variant of a Windows application, which is not accessible if you don't have access from the client to install it on the workstation. And most of the solutions we're currently evaluating are web-based. Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing. It has lots of elements. It's not user-intuitive compared to other products. Other than that, the licensing model is our main concern.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."
"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."
 

Cons

"The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added."
"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."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"It has a Postgres database at the backend, and it is very difficult to scale if you increase the number of processes running. We did hit some barriers. We were able to overcome them, but it was a problem. Camunda has another product called Camunda Cloud, which supposedly doesn't have the same scalability problems, but we are not using Camunda Cloud because the set of features is smaller than Camunda On-Premises. So, its scalability can be improved. Because it has a single database, it is more difficult to scale if you have a huge success."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We use the free version."
"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."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"The price could definitely be lower."
