FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
SA
An easy-to-use solution with great integration
It involves a lot of investment. The learning curve is not similar to other products, like K2. Regarding the user interface, I have to access workflows and define and manage the processes on the variant of a Windows application, which is not accessible if you don't have access from the client to install it on the workstation. And most of the solutions we're currently evaluating are web-based. Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing. It has lots of elements. It's not user-intuitive compared to other products. Other than that, the licensing model is our main concern.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."
"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"The integration with almost any language, product, and even human tasks, is valuable. It's very seamless to integrate into existing systems. It doesn't require you to rewrite a lot of your existing system. That's where it really stands out."
"The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."
"Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."
 

Cons

"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than 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."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation."
"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"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."
"The price could definitely be lower."
