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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."
"The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface."
"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 process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"The platform's approach to BPMN modeling is straightforward and versatile, making it easy to adopt and use effectively."
"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."
"The solution is good for data models."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners."
"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"We use the free version."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"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."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
