Camunda vs Microsoft System Center Orchestrator comparison

"The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."

"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."

"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."

"Camunda is a scalable product."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."

"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."

"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."

"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."

"It can manage multiple servers and workstations from a single location."

"Automation is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."

"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."

"I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs."

"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."

"I would like to see better pricing."

"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."

"The migration strategy needs to be improved."

"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."

"I find the Orchestrator UI to be problematic."

"The product's management aspect needs enhancement."

"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."

"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."

"I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive."

"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."

"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."

"Camunda is much cheaper."

"We're using the open-source version for now."

"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"We obtained a license that bundled Windows Server with System Center at no additional cost."
