Support is good (even the basic one), documentation is readily available and matches the need for agile development

Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow. I know they're working on that or at least communicating about it. They already have versions to run on the cloud, so they've tackled that. We're looking at what they will come up with otherwise. As long as the product gets enough traction and evolves, we're happy. With open source, you can monitor what's happening. If the product is being left by many customers, that's a sign. We're also users of Camunda, and you can watch one of our guides' presentations in the States about one of our implementations. Our focus now is on developing service management and DMN APIs for the platform. AI is something we take into consideration, but we'll see what additional benefits it could bring and how to interconnect it with our data or AI engineering.

A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation

I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

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

"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."

"The visibility – the diagrams you create – and then being able to automate based on them are valuable features. It's easy to explain and comprehend, and the integration aspects are valuable."

"It is a scalable product. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."

"The graphical interface is very beneficial."

"The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance."

"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."

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

More Camunda pros

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."

Cons

"The product must provide more videos and training materials."

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

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

"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."

"The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."

"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."

"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."

"Documentation can be improved."

More Camunda cons

"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

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

"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."

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

"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."

"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
