The modeler and REST APIs are valuable, but the user interface needs improvement
Pros and Cons

We are doing some development around Camunda, so it is not live right now. It is for a local government organization that wants to map some specific processes on Camunda.

We're using the open-source version for now.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We just roughly touched Apache Kafka.
What other advice do I have?
