Sentiment score

MEGA HOPEX is scalable and adaptable for organizations, but larger implementations require careful management to avoid performance issues.
Camunda offers a high level of scalability, especially when using its SaaS model, which manages and scales implementations automatically.
It allows for easy scaling, especially with ECS service configurations.
They have that REST layer, REST APIs layer that makes it easy to integrate and make it part of a microservices ecosystem and APIs.
 

Stability Issues

Camunda is highly rated for stability, with minimal bugs, and performs efficiently in various production environments even under load.
Sentiment score
7.3
MEGA HOPEX is generally stable, with stability varying based on customization levels, resolved issues, and external platform interactions.
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
We measured the time for each step individually because each activity in the process was an API call to an external API in a different legacy system.
 

Room For Improvement

Camunda needs better customization, programming language integration, scalability, and AWS support, with enhanced documentation and performance improvements.
MEGA HOPEX faces stability, usability, and integration issues, lacking intuitive interface, comprehensive support, and efficient customization capabilities.
Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version.
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.
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
MegaHOPEX lacks comprehensive features that a governance tool should have, particularly in data governance.
 

Setup Cost

Camunda's pricing is competitive, but costly for small businesses; enterprise edition offers advanced features and support options.
MEGA HOPEX is considered expensive, with yearly licensing and consulting costs, posing challenges for smaller organizations and enterprise users.
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.
There is a licensing cost for using the SaaS model and Enterprise edition of Camunda.
 

Valuable Features

Camunda is valued for its flexibility, open-source customization, user-friendly interface, and effective management of complex processes.
MEGA HOPEX offers IT portfolio management, process mapping, compliance, and data integration, enhancing collaboration, governance, and workflow efficiency.
Camunda's support for BPMN 2.0 is a great advantage because it allows us to have a common language to discuss technology and business in the same perspective.
ECS also allows for horizontal scalability with thresholds that can be configured for CPU or memory.
The biggest difference between Camunda and Bonita might be that Camunda is simpler and more flexible for setting.

Featured Reviews

CristianoGomes - PeerSpot reviewer
Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years
I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.
Adnan Yusuf - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for application portfolio management but improvement is needed for dashboards
I find the process modeling and value chain features valuable. The application portfolio management functionality and workflow management capabilities are also nice. It provides a holistic view for stakeholders and helps align IT with business strategies. It facilitates collaboration across the organization and covers all domains, including business, applications, technology, and data.
