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."
"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."
"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
"The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."
"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."
"If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"Would be helpful if there were additional out-of-the-box activities."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Camunda's pricing is good."
"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
"We have an annual subscription to this solution."
"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."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."
