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

"The product has a good task management engine."

"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."

"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."

"It is very user-friendly compared to IBM BPM. It's much simpler – it's more streamlined. That means even non-technical departments can use it."

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

"The biggest difference between Camunda and Bonita might be that Camunda is simpler and more flexible for setting, though we are at the beginning and need to experiment."

"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."

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

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 deployment model could be improved for easier implementation. More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup."

"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."

"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."

"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."

"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."

"I would like to see better pricing."

"Initial setup can be quite complex."

"We have faced problems with the performance."

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

"Camunda is much cheaper."

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

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

"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."

"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

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

"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."

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."
