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.
Yaniv Ivgi - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable cloud solution for automation and data manipulation
Make has a single IP. We cannot use a single IP because of the security. There are a lot of crashes when you work manually. Also, they need to provide more models. When you have an error, Make should inform them with guidance before you make the mistake. There is a lot of data you can confuse.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."
"The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"The flexibility is great."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."
"The most valuable features of Make are the additional options when compared to other similar solutions. For example, with Google my business, you can only do certain things with Zapier, whereas with Make, you can do a little bit more."
 

Cons

"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces."
"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"Make could improve the ease of use, it can be more complicated than other solutions. There are a lot of elements that are more technical than in other solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"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."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"We use the free version."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"The price of Make is approximately $20 per month for the platform."
