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

"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."
"The product is stable."
"Camunda is a scalable product."
"We are using the BPMN engine of Camunda; we are not using the user interface. We are using just the engine, the back end of this. For us, it is working quite well."
"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"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 solution is useful for small projects."
"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."
 

Cons

"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"While it's very scalable, it would be great if auto-scaling capabilities were added to it... one area that really could help out would be to have dynamic resizing of the cluster. Right now, you have to do capacity planning."
"I would say that Camunda should actually focus on small cases as well. There's a lot of space out there, for small businesses. If they can, they should cater to them."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs."
"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"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."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"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."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"The price could definitely be lower."
