Room For Improvement

Camunda users seek UI improvements, expanded functionality, better regional support, enhanced security, and improved integration and documentation.
OpenText Operations Orchestration needs better integration, scalability, a modern interface, cloud options, open-source support, and pre-built workflows.
For our implementation, the only issue we have encountered is that when it comes to scaling with external tasks, it struggles on Camunda 7.

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.

Setup Cost

Camunda offers free open-source and enterprise plans, starting at $200/month, with enterprise costs around $50,000 annually.
OpenText Operations Orchestration is seen as costly but offers significant value through cost and time-saving automation capabilities.
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.

I do not know if it is just not possible to run the whole environment at a rate that would be affordable.

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.

Featured Reviews

CristianoGomes - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
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.
Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
Performance & Monitoring Supervisor at Saudi Telecom Company
Increases productivity with automation and robust orchestration capabilities
The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available. There are ready-made workflows, integration with other products, a nice user interface, and reporting. The tool is flexible, agent-based or agentless. It allows significant automation and has robust orchestration and reporting capabilities. It is easy to configure and use, leading to increased efficiency across our IT processes.
