Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA

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.

Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

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

"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."

"Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."

"Camunda is a scalable product."

"It has an open BPM"

"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."

", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."

"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."

"The best feature is the automation."

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 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."

"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."

"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."

"The product does not have a dictionary."

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

"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."

"The migration strategy needs to be improved."

"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation."

More Camunda cons

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."

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

"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."

"I use the open-source free version."

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

"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."

"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"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."

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