Camunda's support for BPMN 2.0 is a great advantage because it allows us to have a common language to discuss technology and business in the same perspective.

I have seen a return on investment where we have fewer resources in development because of Camunda, which saves us approximately 15% in development resources.

Camunda is very capable of running complex orchestrations and end-to-end business processes, and the lending use case is somewhat complex, yet Camunda made it very easy and handy to implement.

In my opinion, the best features of Camunda are found in Cawemo, where we are forced to describe and specify what we are doing, enabling us to automate our processes.

The amazing thing for me was how easy it was to deploy new processes and changes in the process models, which was super easy, super efficient, and super quick.

Camunda can orchestrate the systems we already run without forcing us to replace or migrate them, which is one of the major advantages I have mentioned.

I find it valuable that Camunda is built on open standards such as BPMN and connects openly with different models, agents, and frameworks, as it does not limit me in terms of skills.

The best features of Camunda are the design time and run time aspects, as you can visualize the whole process and then integrate your network SMEs or allow business design and developers to collaborate on the workflow.

I see improvements with Camunda mainly in quality and service, as the best return on investment is less work for internal teams and enhanced value for end customers, allowing less experienced personnel to effectively work with Camunda and understand their responsibilities, alleviating dependence on specific knowledgeable employees.

EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service.

I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself.

Manager at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

There is some confusion when deploying new models because you have to explicitly specify only the new model.

The latest feature is Process OS. The idea is very good, but it still needs more elaboration on how it operates and how it will help the business and technical aspects.

In Camunda, areas that have room for improvement include the process OS they are working on, and they have gotten better on that.

The area where we are struggling with Camunda is currently the Optimize module, which does not have all the features that we need for fully-fledged process analytics.

I find that pricing is not inexpensive based on the fact that enterprise applications can easily generate millions of process instances.

Camunda has room for improvement, and I believe some of this feedback has already been taken up in Camunda 8.

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.
