We performed a comparison between Apache Airflow, Bizagi, and Camunda based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Apache, Pega and others in Business Process Management (BPM)."This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The best feature is the customization."
"Apache Airflow is in Python language, making it easy to use and learn."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"I found the following features very useful: DAG - Workload management and orchestration of tasks using."
"Since Apache works very well on Python, we can manage everything and create pipelines there."
"The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"We're running it on a virtual server, which we can easily upgrade if needed."
"The ability to write our own code inside each activity is beneficial. Sometimes we need to create functionality that doesn't come out of the box, and this allows us to do that."
"I like the business process management engine. It's very detailed, and you can probably map any of the corporate workflow processes you come across in it compared to some of the other solutions out there. I can probably say that it has very good support to work in tandem with other RP solutions in the market. The software is still very user-friendly and integral, and they have pretty good online resources. The automation feature is pretty good, so is the integration feature."
"Bizagi is a very useful tool because it does not require you to program. The user logic is very easy to understand even for people who are not engineers or developers."
"The product has a comfortable GUI and a good environment for users."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"The solution offers a free version of their product."
"The approval process is simple."
"The natural notation is the best feature of Bizagi because it makes it compatible with other products."
"The UI is very user-friendly compared to other products. The native, vanilla UI is very interesting and intuitive to use. It's user-friendly when it comes to modernizing a business process."
"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface."
"The visibility – the diagrams you create – and then being able to automate based on them are valuable features. It's easy to explain and comprehend, and the integration aspects are valuable."
"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."
"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."
"Adding more automated components in Apache Airflow for basic things like exporting the data would be helpful."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"UI can be improved with additional user-friendly features for non-programmers and for fewer coding practitioner requirements."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement."
"Apache Airflow could be improved by integrating some versioning principles."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"We cannot run real-time jobs in the solution."
"It would be beneficial to improve the pricing structure."
"The free version could be better. Some of the templates and all the functionalities aren't available in the free version. I've been trying to check some maps, for example, organizational maps or a model on organization hierarchy. Apparently, there seems to be no template. You have to create your own. I am not sure if there are templates, but I've not really seen any. I think that there's room for improvement."
"They should improve the migration process between major versions, from version 9 to 10, we had to redo our implementation."
"Bizagi allows for automation, but it's very complicated."
"It would be helpful if they added some extra features in the next update."
"Difficult to export in formats other than PDF."
"The technical support is not fast enough and should be improved."
"I think that they could improve their update process. Some of the process mining techniques could be added to Bizagi. I think that they can improve their simulation abilities to include more elements of the BPMN."
"The gateway through which it connects with other vendors, specifically RPA vendors, is one aspect that could be improved."
"The product does not have a dictionary."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added."
