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.

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 ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."

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

"Camunda is the best among similar solutions like JBPM and Activiti."

"The solution is useful for small projects."

"It is an absolutely stable solution."

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

"We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes."

"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."

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

"There are a few things that I'm missing. For instance, the user interface creator, which I know other systems have, like Aurea or Lombardi, which are IBM solutions. The interface creator, including the data model creator or some module which would allow the users who are not programmers or business consultants and who are not technically skilled in database and Java programming, to create data models and user interfaces."

"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."

"Lacking in forms visualization."

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

"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."

"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."

"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."

"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."

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

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

"The product's price depends on the number of processes that need to be automated or where the orchestration part needs to be used. The product is affordable for medium and large enterprises."

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

"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."

"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."

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

"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."

"Camunda's pricing is good."

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."
