Peter Broucke - PeerSpot reviewer
Support is good (even the basic one), documentation is readily available and matches the need for agile development
Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow. I know they're working on that or at least communicating about it. They already have versions to run on the cloud, so they've tackled that. We're looking at what they will come up with otherwise. As long as the product gets enough traction and evolves, we're happy. With open source, you can monitor what's happening. If the product is being left by many customers, that's a sign. We're also users of Camunda, and you can watch one of our guides' presentations in the States about one of our implementations. Our focus now is on developing service management and DMN APIs for the platform. AI is something we take into consideration, but we'll see what additional benefits it could bring and how to interconnect it with our data or AI engineering.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Azure Automation is the scripting."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"Camunda is the best among similar solutions like JBPM and Activiti."
"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."
"Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature."
"We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes."
"One valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."
"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"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 pay for the license of this solution annually."
"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."
"We use the free version."
"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."
