Featured Reviews

FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ahmed-Ragab - PeerSpot reviewer
Facilitates task management with effective approval processes and modern integration capabilities
It facilitates processes by sending notifications to relevant individuals who need to take action regarding requests. There is a very good approval hierarchy in place. Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests. It is also easy to integrate with many other tools, like Nintex and Azure DevOps, using APIs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"The solution is useful for small projects."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."
"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"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 use a community version."
"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."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
