The tool supports university projects with effective modeling and a comprehensive toolset
The pure modeling capabilities with drag-and-drop elements for business process diagrams are excellent. The ability to move smoothly from the process landscape to the business process model diagram is appreciated. The simulation model is user-friendly, and the analysis features offer correct insights quickly. It helps me explore and identify the best candidates for automation. ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very complete solution and user-friendly."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"The support is fantastic and we have really good contact with them, it's very easy to use."
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"This is a good solution for consulting firms and universities and is one of the best systems for analytics of business processes."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"The way to create workflows is straightforward, which is one of the major benefits of the Camunda platform."
"The best feature is the automation."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."
 

Cons

"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"This solution would be more scalable for our business if we could make certain changes, including adding the Russian language."
"ADONIS needs improvement mainly in user-friendliness, setup, and installations. As an administrator at that time, I found it quite difficult to manage users because I needed to open specific software, possibly Java-based, which is not web-based and should be installed first to manage the users."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"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 upfront enterprise-level support could have been better."
"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year. If they can make it available in the market, it would be great. We are going to have a couple of migration projects for migrating from IBM BPM to Camunda, and this plugin would be useful. I have already discussed this with them two weeks ago and asked them to look into this and add it as a feature. We are expecting this plugin to be available in the next version. This is the only requirement we have at present. They keep on coming up with different features, which is helping us a lot. Its latest release that came out last month was awesome."
"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"Community support is basically what I'm looking for. Other than that, it is okay for now."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"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."
"Its price is decent. Everything is included in the license. The Community version is also good to start with. We are using the Community version."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"The product's price depends on the number of processes that need to be automated or where the orchestration part needs to be used. The product is affordable for medium and large enterprises."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
