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."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"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."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"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 support is fantastic and we have really good contact with them, it's very easy to use."
"Overall, it's very flexible and nimble."
"The documentation and all that they have done is just splendid."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"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."
 

Cons

"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"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."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"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."
"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"We had to do a lot of tweaking; it hasn't been stable from the beginning, but with some effort, it can become stable."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"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."
"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."
"On the other hand, if I were rating it for use by the public then I would rate it a three out of ten."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
"The solution's initial setup has a medium level of difficulty. Maybe someone who is starting out and doesn't have any experience with any other framework may get into some headaches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"I use the open-source free version."
"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."
"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."
