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

"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"Camunda is a scalable product."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"The most valuable feature is the scheduling."
"Using the BPMN helps us to have a common shared communication language when discussing processes."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"The best feature is the automation."
"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."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"Documentation can be improved."
"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"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."
"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."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
