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

"It is a scalable product. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business."
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"It's user friendly, much better than most tools I have seen."
"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
"The use of Java is a big plus for our intern developers, and Camunda scales well, as many of our departments are already using it in production with dedicated teams."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
"The setup process is a drawback as it has many dependencies, which affects our ability to migrate to Windows eleven due to security concerns."
"The product does not have a dictionary."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex."
"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."
"An improvement would be to support Angular 2 instead of AngularJS, which is quite old."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."
"Camunda's pricing is good."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"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."
