Scalability Issues

Camunda excels in scalability using modern tools but faces database challenges; improvements are noted in documentation and setup.
Sentiment score
7.2
webMethods.io is highly scalable for cloud solutions and adaptable for large integrations, despite licensing and configuration challenges.
Camunda offers a high level of scalability, especially when using its SaaS model, which manages and scales implementations automatically.
ECS and Fargate make horizontal scalability very easy.
They have that REST layer, REST APIs layer that makes it easy to integrate and make it part of a microservices ecosystem and APIs.
Whenever more resources are needed, they become available automatically without any human interference.
Vertically, scalability is fine, however, I have not expanded horizontally with the product yet.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Camunda is highly rated for stability, with minimal bugs, and performs efficiently in various production environments even under load.
Sentiment score
7.6
webMethods.io is stable and reliable with minor issues, enhanced by frequent updates, though rapid changes can be problematic.
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
We were not really concerned about the performance on the process itself because it was super simple, super straightforward, and it did not present itself as a bottleneck, nor did we feel it was adding additional time in the execution.
There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.
We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Camunda needs better customization, programming language integration, scalability, and AWS support, with enhanced documentation and performance improvements.
webMethods.io needs better documentation, stability, integration, performance, and user-friendly features, including cost-effective licensing and advanced capabilities.
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
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.
Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version.
webMethods.io lacks advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities, so my customers need to use something additional.
A special discount of at least 50% for old customers would allow us to expand our services and request more resources.
 

Setup Cost

Camunda's pricing is competitive, but costly for small businesses; enterprise edition offers advanced features and support options.
webMethods.io is costly, ideal for big enterprises; licensing complex; negotiations common, but valued for its capabilities and support.
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.
There is a licensing cost for using the SaaS model and Enterprise edition of Camunda.
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.
 

Valuable Features

Camunda is valued for its flexibility, open-source customization, user-friendly interface, and effective management of complex processes.
webMethods.io provides scalable integration, intuitive API management, extensive connector support, robust security, and seamless connectivity for complex integrations.
EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service.
Camunda's support for BPMN 2.0 is a great advantage because it allows us to have a common language to discuss technology and business in the same perspective.
The biggest difference between Camunda and Bonita might be that Camunda is simpler and more flexible for setting.
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.

Featured Reviews

Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years
I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.
Derrick Brockel - PeerSpot reviewer
An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
