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 solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."

"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."

"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."

"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."

"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."

"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."

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

"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."

More Camunda pros

"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."

"The most valuable feature is the good automation engine, which helps in reducing the development cost and allows easy development of applications."

"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."

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

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

"The most valuable features of this solution are the security, storage, and document search capability."

"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."

"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."

Cons

"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."

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

"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."

"The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."

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

"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."

"The initial setup can be complex for business users."

"The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training."

More Camunda cons

"The user interface can be improved."

"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."

"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."

"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."

"The main issue is the software's performance when storing around 10 million or more documents. It becomes slow and needs improvement. Perhaps it's a cloud-related issue, but it needs to be addressed. It could be due to our S3 bucket or something else. Nevertheless, this is a significant challenge we're facing."

"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."

"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years."

"Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Camunda's pricing is good."

"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."

"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."

"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."

"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."

"There is a bit of scope for improvement in how the licensing and pricing are done. They are based on the number of processing instances you execute on the cluster... but on the self-hosted mode, the pricing model should be customized."

"The open-source version of the product is free to use."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"The price is considered affordable now."

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

"The product is expensive."

"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."

"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."

"It is quite an expensive product."
