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."
"The platform's approach to BPMN modeling is straightforward and versatile, making it easy to adopt and use effectively."
"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"Using the BPMN helps us to have a common shared communication language when discussing processes."
"It is a scalable product. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance."
"Documentation can be improved."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"The setup process is a drawback as it has many dependencies, which affects our ability to migrate to Windows eleven due to security concerns."
"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
"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."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We use a community 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."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"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."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"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."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"I use the open-source free version."
