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

"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."

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

"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."

"Camunda serves as an automation library and provides lightweight deployment to the cloud."

"The product has a good task management engine."

"Its flexibility stands out as the most valuable feature."

"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."

"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."

More Camunda pros

"It is quite good."

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

"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."

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

"The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc."

"The most valuable feature of OpenText Documentum is the versioning."

"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."

"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."

Cons

"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."

"When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks."

"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."

"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."

"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."

"The business model could be easier to understand."

"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."

"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."

More Camunda cons

"The licensing model should be changed."

"Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard."

"The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs."

"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."

"OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit."

"OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations."

"The BPM side should be improved."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."

"Camunda's pricing is good."

"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."

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

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

"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."

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

"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."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"The price is considered affordable now."

"The product is expensive."

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