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

"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"
"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."
"Camunda is the best among similar solutions like JBPM and Activiti."
"It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."
"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."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Camunda is much cheaper."
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"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."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"We use a community version."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."
"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
