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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is stable."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"Camunda seems to have a lot of traction, maturity, and stability. It also matches the need for agile development."
"The visibility – the diagrams you create – and then being able to automate based on them are valuable features. It's easy to explain and comprehend, and the integration aspects are valuable."
"The solution is good for data models."
"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."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation. More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup."
"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
"The product must provide more videos and training materials."
"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."
"I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them."
"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

"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"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."
"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 are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"There is a bit of scope for improvement in how the licensing and pricing are done. They are based on the number of processing instances you execute on the cluster... but on the self-hosted mode, the pricing model should be customized."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
