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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"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."
"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."
"I like everything about the entire BPM that comes with the BPM suite."
"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."
"The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"The setup process is a drawback as it has many dependencies, which affects our ability to migrate to Windows eleven due to security concerns."
"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"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."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"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."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"We use the free version."
