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.

Saves time and increases an organization's productivity

It's a great enterprise content management product. Our customers love the product for its stability and scalability. Search is the most useful feature of the solution. The way we retrieve documents is more important than how we store them. There's no use if we can't find a document. It's the most critical feature. My organization works with other customers. We are consultants for OpenText. Our customers have seen a lot of benefits in terms of regulatory compliance. Industries like banking are highly regulated. The product captures the information centrally so everybody in the bank can see the right information at the right time. It is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful with legal issues.

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 features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."

"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."

"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."

"Camunda is a scalable product."

"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."

"There's this graphic that tells you how many lines or how many tickets are in each step. In that way, you know where you stand. I find this feature very valuable."

"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."

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

More Camunda pros

"It has the ability to categorize and search."

"The most valuable feature is the management."

"It is a very secure system. It is reliable, and that is one of the reasons people manage their content within Documentum. It gives them the confidence that the content is accessible to the right people and not to the wrong people."

"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."

"It is quite good."

"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."

"OpenText Documentum has improved availability and performance in our organization."

"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."

Cons

"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."

"The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance."

"I would like to see better pricing."

"The latency of API could be decreased."

"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."

"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."

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

"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."

More Camunda cons

"I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times."

"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."

"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."

"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"

"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."

"The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices."

"The vertical application could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"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."

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."

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

"We use Camunda's community edition, which is free."

"We have an annual subscription to this solution."

"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."

"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."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"OpenText Documentum has announced a new licensing model, which could be more expensive."

"It is quite an expensive product."

"It falls in line with a lot of things that are out there on the market. There is nothing extraordinary in terms of great or bad."

"The price is considered affordable now."

"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."

"The product is expensive."
