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.

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."
"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."
"The solution is good for data models."
"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."
"Camunda seems to have a lot of traction, maturity, and stability. It also matches the need for agile development."
"The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."
"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The product does not have a dictionary."
"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."
"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"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 have an annual subscription to this solution."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."
"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."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"Camunda's pricing is good."
