Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 9, 2025

Camunda and BiZZdesign HoriZZon are key players in business process management and enterprise architecture. Camunda has the upper hand due to its active community and ease of building workflows.

Features: Camunda offers lightweight architecture, scalability, and BPMN compliance, making it highly adaptable with robust REST API and open-source accessibility. It allows for easy workflow creation with reusable components. BiZZdesign HoriZZon is strong in enterprise architecture management with flexibility in modeling standards like ArchiMate and strategic planning tools.

Room for Improvement: Camunda could improve its proprietary UI and form creation tools, provide clearer documentation, and enhance support for additional programming languages. BiZZdesign HoriZZon could benefit from better integration capabilities, improved usability of its REST APIs, and more competitive pricing, along with a more intuitive user interface and enhanced technical support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Camunda supports flexible deployment for both on-premises and cloud environments with open-source community engagement but faces challenges in technical support. In contrast, BiZZdesign HoriZZon is cloud-based and offers dedicated enterprise-level support, known for being responsive and efficient.

Pricing and ROI: Camunda is considered cost-effective, especially for startups using its open-source model, but substantial growth may lead to increased costs due to a per-process pricing model. Users find BiZZdesign HoriZZon expensive, although both products deliver positive ROI by effectively supporting complex processes and modeling.

Helps to get a clear overview of our enterprise architecture, especially when dealing with multiple departments

One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs. While the platform offers REST APIs, they have limitations when it comes to retrieving and exporting data. Obtaining detailed information at the individual application or component level, including IDs, costs, and deployment-related data, can be challenging through these APIs. This limitation makes it difficult to smoothly export such granular data. I have raised this issue with the BiZZdesign team, and they expressed interest in addressing it, but I'm not aware of the current status of this improvement effort. Nonetheless, improving the usability and flexibility of the REST APIs for data extraction is an area that could enhance the platform's capabilities.

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

"The most valuable feature is that it allows you to work with different methods, using the same tool."

"The most valuable features are the application, portfolio, data, architectures, and modeling things."

"The feature I find most valuable is that the start times and loading times are short. It takes only a few seconds to load the repository and whenever I want to open diagrams, they are there almost immediately."

"I like the flexibility of the modeling part for standards like ArchiMate and, at the same time, BPMN. It allows us to connect elements from different areas and to have a single repository and a single source of truth. It gives us one place to do analysis throughout the organization."

"The powerful editing function in teamwork project-based, common or shared modeling, based on a powerful repository and knowledge sharing in a portal are the most valuable features. These are the most important features for me. I can add the integration of individual modeling notations like Archimate plus BPMN and DMN, and so on. We travel from one location to another and the tool allows us to keep track."

"The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon, from my experience, include its out-of-the-box connectors, such as integration with ServiceNow, Excel, and SQL databases, making data repository management more efficient."

"The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable."

"t's a good tool. My colleagues that are making use of it for application, business processes, or data modeling, are very satisfied with it. They find it easy to use. The graphical representation is simple but therefore efficient, so I know that they are planning a very good commencement on the use of these tools."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon pros

"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."

"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."

"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."

"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."

"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."

"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."

"The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."

"It has an open BPM"

More Camunda pros

Cons

"The repository of duplicate objects is bad."

"One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs."

"There could be simpler modelling."

"Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover."

"There is room for improvement in making it more seamless between the modeling and the analysis pieces. Sometimes you have to do some work in the backend to ensure that the HoriZZon portal really gets all of the information the way you want it. They are working on the seamlessness between what they call Enterprise Studio and HoriZZon."

"We tested it, and we had support from BiZZdesign, including patches, but it just didn't do what we wanted."

"The automatic data collection and interface need improvement."

"Integration definitely needs improvement. There are some restrictions. We've seen that it doesn't integrate with everything we might expect."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon cons

"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."

"Initial setup can be quite complex."

"The business model could be easier to understand."

"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."

"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."

"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."

"Camunda could be improved by making it easier to modify a process. You can program it to follow a process, but it is difficult to modify the process when the application is in use. It could also be improved by making it easier to use the visual platform without needing to be informed on that. Sometimes, we programmers haven't used it in the past, and it's a bit difficult to learn it."

"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."

"[The] Orbus... pricing model was based on every single functionality having a price. The pricing was comparable but if we wanted to scale, it would have ended up being a lot more expensive. BiZZdesign gave us one price with all of the functionality, and we could scale as much as we needed."

"I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."

"If one is very cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a seven out of ten."

"The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."

"In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."

"We were customers and bought licenses from them. We used their remote instance initially but upgraded to the on-device version due to lag. For pricing, we paid about 2200 pounds a year per seat for the client installation at an educational rate. I'm not sure about commercial rates. I managed to get a free copy at BBC since it was for evaluation purposes."

"The price is reasonable."

"We use a community version."

"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."

"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."

"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."

"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 have an annual subscription to this solution."

"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."

"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
