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.
Gavin Bérubé - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees
Works as a reference for architecture but not very intuitive
We use the solution as a reference for architecture so that we can connect business data applications. The tool helps us to know how these applications should be built. We use it mainly as reference material.  I like the solution's traceability.  The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"Camunda has positively impacted my organization by simplifying business process management and improving time to market."
"Based on other products, we've found the most appropriate results coming out from the Camunda BPM engine."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version, and for testing and learning purposes it is perfect."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."
"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."
"My advice is try to understand and use it because it's really an amazing solution."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"Enterprise architecture and a positive sense of understanding soon reached everyone."
"I like the solution's traceability."
 

Cons

"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."
"In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese."
"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
"For .NET I have opinion that need more real life examples."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
"In the previous version, the web interface was unstable."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"I use the open-source free version."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
