ROI

Sentiment score
5.8
BizTalk Server offers great ROI for large industries, but smaller businesses might prefer cloud solutions for more flexible options.
Sentiment score
6.3
Camunda improves efficiency and productivity, reducing resources and lead times while being cost-effective compared to competitors.
Now the direction is to move away from BizTalk Server to IBM WebMethods, which has more features compared to BizTalk Server.
Senior Application Specialist at Taqa Distribution
BizTalk Server's ROI is comparatively higher than Boomi and Workato.
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
I have seen a return on investment where we have fewer resources in development because of Camunda.
Manager at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Regulatory changes or implementation needs should not take years to resolve, as the value is not just the license cost per number of cases run in the workflow, but how you achieve service enhancement for your company.
Product Owner/Manager at RS2i
When it comes to return on investment for Camunda, regarding process lead time reduction, we see something between 50 to 80 percent easily.
Head of Process Excellence at ODDO-BHF
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
4.8
User experiences vary, with praised documentation, competent engineers, and mix of Microsoft's support and external consulting for assistance.
Sentiment score
6.6
Camunda's support is responsive and supportive, but agent expertise and documentation occasionally receive mixed reviews; improvements are suggested.
AWS provides the best support, followed by Microsoft, and then Google.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
They really understand deeply and in detailed fashion the solution.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
They provide better support for the enterprise edition.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.0
BizTalk Server's scalability receives mixed reviews; some find it expandable, others face issues with increasing message volumes.
Sentiment score
6.6
Camunda excels in scalable deployments for various business sizes, with strong architecture but needs better documentation and support.
It is time for low-code, no-code, and a quick go-to-market should be faster.
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
Camunda offers a high level of scalability, especially when using its SaaS model, which manages and scales implementations automatically.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
ECS and Fargate make horizontal scalability very easy.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
They have that REST layer, REST APIs layer that makes it easy to integrate and make it part of a microservices ecosystem and APIs.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
BizTalk Server is stable but struggles with large data, losing relevance as users increasingly transition to cloud solutions.
Sentiment score
7.8
Camunda is highly stable, excelling in reliability despite occasional integration challenges, and supports long-running processes effectively.
BizTalk Server's stability rates about eight or nine out of ten.
Consultant at EC live! Hans Pointner
BizTalk Server is good for small companies but not for big companies.
Senior Application Specialist at Taqa Distribution
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
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.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
For stability, most use cases depend on the workflow engine with Cockpit, which is stable about 98% of the time.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
 

Room For Improvement

BizTalk Server needs better debugging, deployment, scalability, cloud integration, JSON support, API management, and task management to stay competitive.
Camunda users seek UI improvements, expanded functionality, better regional support, enhanced security, and improved integration and documentation.
BizTalk Server needs improvements, especially because we use it for EDI messaging, and it would be very useful to have enhanced tracking capabilities for message tracking and archiving of messages.
Consultant at EC live! Hans Pointner
We initially planned to move to Azure Integration Services, but there are challenges with AIS, so now we are evaluating WebMethods IO.
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
For our implementation, the only issue we have encountered is that when it comes to scaling with external tasks, it struggles on Camunda 7.
Principal Solutions Architect at BT - British Telecom
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
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.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
 

Setup Cost

BizTalk Server offers flexible deployment but can be costly compared to Azure, with users favoring cloud solutions for efficiency.
Camunda offers free open-source and enterprise plans, starting at $200/month, with enterprise costs around $50,000 annually.
The only thing I heard is that it's not inexpensive.
Consultant at EC live! Hans Pointner
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
I do not know if it is just not possible to run the whole environment at a rate that would be affordable.
Freelance Consultant at a media company with self employed
While it might be too expensive for smaller business use cases, if we can automate and have high-value cases, then Camunda's pricing makes sense.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
 

Valuable Features

BizTalk Server excels in seamless integrations, data processing, and reliability with its workflows, adapters, and low-code configurations.
Camunda offers flexibility, user-friendly interface, BPMN compliance, integration capabilities, scalability, and customization, supporting seamless complex process orchestration.
Boomi has advantages over BizTalk Server because it is more flexible, low-code, no-code, easy to implement, and has a fast go-to-market.
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
BizTalk Server offers workflow functionality that I find very effective for process automation.
Consultant at EC live! Hans Pointner
The customer support is outstanding.
Freelance Consultant at a media company with self employed
The coexistence that Camunda allows is important because we are connected, using it as an orchestrator for domain controllers and various automation platforms, both legacy and new, ensuring we are independent and can operate across domains.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
Another feature I value is the intuitiveness of BPMN that allows you to create your UI without needing a developer, which is very helpful.
Manager at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Featured Reviews

reviewer2759421 - PeerSpot reviewer
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
Has required extensive coding and high effort for maintenance but has supported legacy integrations
I am generally satisfied with BizTalk Server, but there are some gaps, as we have multiple integration tools. Thus, there is associated cost, operation cost, license cost, and CapEx, so we are trying to consolidate all the integration tools. Regarding BizTalk Server and data mapping tools, we want to get rid of BizTalk Server, as there is unnecessary license cost, and there are some limitations, so we might go for Azure Integration Services. BizTalk Server is completely ruled out; we will not be proceeding with it. We initially planned to move to Azure Integration Services, but there are challenges with AIS, so now we are evaluating WebMethods IO because WebMethods is now part of IBM, which is performing well in the market, although the IBM license cost is too high. The initial investment is too high, and we want to reduce that cost.
CristianoGomes - PeerSpot reviewer

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.
