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.

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.

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.

The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation.

The use of Java is a big plus for our intern developers, and Camunda scales well, as many of our departments are already using it in production with dedicated teams.

The biggest difference between Camunda and Bonita might be that Camunda is simpler and more flexible for setting, though we are at the beginning and need to experiment.

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

Sep 25, 2026
There is some confusion when deploying new models because you have to explicitly specify only the new model.

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

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

In Camunda, I believe the process mining side has room for improvement.

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.

The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation. More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.

The setup process is a drawback as it has many dependencies, which affects our ability to migrate to Windows eleven due to security concerns.

We have to wait to see if Bonita provided us with some features that Camunda does not or if we experience any stability issues.
