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 best feature is the automation."

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

"The platform's approach to BPMN modeling is straightforward and versatile, making it easy to adopt and use effectively."

"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."

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

"The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation."

"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."

"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."

More Camunda pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is ACL, which helps to control the user groups that access the documents."

"I appreciate Documentum's scalability, allowing for vast volumes of content storage."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

Cons

"Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI."

"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."

"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."

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

"The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added."

"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."

"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."

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

More Camunda cons

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

"The licensing model should be changed."

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

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

"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."

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

"Camunda is much cheaper."

"It is good for a startup. When we started, its price was fair, but the way we are using it to orchestrate microservices makes it expensive. When you are growing as a company, you would have more microservices, and you would have more users. There is an exponential effect when you are growing in terms of the number of conditions, processes, and users because they bill you per process. So, the price was increasing very quickly for us, and it was very difficult."

"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."

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

"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."

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

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"It is quite an expensive product."

"OpenText Documentum's pricing is good."

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

"The price is considered affordable now."

"The product is expensive."

"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."
