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.

Partner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

Gives you the ability to design the screens outside the software and connect them as a component with the BPM engine

On the improvement part, I think the documentation for the tool, the official documentation, is not as strong as in other tools. You have lot of community. That is good. But sometimes you need - when you are working on a big client or a critical process - to be certain about certain things. So I think that the documentation for the tool, from the company, could be a little stronger. Also, the size of the team within Latin America. The size of the team that, in each country, knows about BPM - because of the size of Red Hat in comparison with the size of IBM or Oracle - is very little. You have maybe three or four people in the company, in Red Hat Mexico, that know about BPM; and in Peru, maybe one, who also needs to know about five other tools. You have help there, but sometimes you don't need that kind of help. You need to sit down with someone and take a good amount of time and discuss a process to solve a problem. It's a consequence of the size. IBM and Oracle are monsters. They have, say, 100 more employees than Red Hat. That is the problem. But on the other side, the price is good. You could pay four times less, five times less, in an average implementation with Red Hat than with IBM. So there is a trade-off.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill."

"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."

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

"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."

"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."

"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."

"It is an absolutely stable solution."

"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

"The main factor that separates Red Hat software from Oracle, IBM, Pegasystems, is the ability that it gives you to design the screens outside the software and connect it as another component with the BPM engine."

Cons

"In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese."

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

"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."

"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."

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

"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."

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

"The product does not have a dictionary."

More Camunda cons

"I think the documentation for the tool, the official documentation, is not as strong as in other tools. You have lot of community. That is good. But sometimes you need - when you are working on a big client or a critical process - to be certain about certain things. So I think that the documentation for the tool, from the company, could be a little stronger."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

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

"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."

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

"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."

"Camunda is much cheaper."

"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."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"Without any discount, you need tools that cost roughly between $80,000 to $100,000. That is less than with IBM. And on top of that you need the consulting. That will be another $200,000. So a quarter to a third of a million dollars is needed to use get started with BPM. So I usually recommend to my clients that they begin with a little project, with the community version. That way they don't spend $200,000 or $300,000, they spend $150,000 and zero on software."
