Process capabilities impress while user setup requires streamlining
I stopped using ADONIS because it is not capable of integrating and automating business processes for the POC. I see that Camunda is more capable for our POC project to orchestrate business processes. We also plan to integrate with UiPath because currently, we are focusing on task automations, not process orchestrations. In the future, we plan to implement process orchestrations. I see that Camunda can integrate UiPath into the process, process model, and process integrations. 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.

Workflow orchestration has supported complex enforcement processes and improves human task integration
Areas that have room for improvement in Camunda include the user interface. We moved from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8, and previously we had Camunda 7 Cockpit, and now we have Operate. The UI of Operate is less user-friendly. It may be a little more modern, but it is less user-friendly, so some insights are missed. The UI could be improved. Another topic is something that should have been recently solved in Camunda 8, but in Camunda 7, we had a case management system based on Camunda, and we had our own identifiers in our system. It was easier in Camunda 7 to link these identifications, the business identification to the process identification, and in Camunda 8, this was not implemented until the 8.10 release. We really missed that feature, as it made it very difficult to embed and especially for debugging. The combination with the new Operate instead of Camunda 7 Cockpit made it difficult to find specific running processes. The maintenance of Camunda is somewhat complex. Recently, we had to move from 8.8 to 8.9 or 8.10, and everything was broken, which cost us a lot of time to repair and revert. The complexity is particularly evident because of the architectural changes Camunda made when moving from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8. It took about three years to make Camunda 8 mature, and sometimes it seems they realized they made a wrong decision by switching to a completely different approach. It is not just a matter of pushing a button and installing it; it has a bigger impact than expected, which is indeed one of the downsides we recently faced. The ability to observe and control processes at runtime, related to Operate, rates at a six in my assessment, so that could definitely be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support is fantastic and we have really good contact with them, it's very easy to use."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Before Camunda, we had a lot of people interacting with the invoice daily, and with Camunda, those people are now handling only more complex checks and validations, and our processing time for an invoice is reduced from about 30 days to 10 days with about 70% saving of time."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."
"We have seen that investing in a tool like Camunda is valuable, especially because it's an open-source product."
"I would definitely recommend the solution to anyone."
 

Cons

"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"One of the weak points is that you can't just export so I'd like to see an improvement in exporting features."
"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."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"This solution would be more scalable for our business if we could make certain changes, including adding the Russian language."
"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."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."
"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."
"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."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"When building interfaces, there are limited tools to work with, especially when dealing with different types of tasks, such as user tasks and system tasks."
 

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."
"I use the open-source free version."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"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."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
