Helps us evaluate the maturity of business capabilities and identify gaps in processes
I would recommend ARIS Process Governance to any company looking to implement enterprise architecture, BPM, or Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), as I thoroughly understand its functionalities. Its capabilities allow it to evaluate the maturity of business capabilities, identify gaps in processes, and facilitate projects aimed at enhancing business processes. I advise new users to invest time in understanding the core concepts and methodologies. Familiarizing oneself with the different functionalities and utilizing the training resources is crucial. Starting with small projects can help build confidence before tackling more complex use cases. Overall, I rate it a nine out of ten.
FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
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 have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They offer a variety of documentation, user manuals, and community forums for users to seek assistance and share experiences."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"Using this solution we can design our own processor governance, assign some specific technical services, and also run tests of the process to make sure it operates as we need it to."
"Ability to use all the features that your catalog has inside the modeling and export it to a BPM augmentation engine."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."
"Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"We are documenting all of the processors and VPN. Then we are sharing it with our business users."
"The best feature is the automation."
"The architectural part of Camunda for workflow design is highly valuable, especially the Camunda Modeler, which allows quick process design and implementation."
 

Cons

"The solution uses a coding language for process design that is specific only to this product. We would like to see this changed to something more universal."
"I recognize the product has areas for potential improvement similar to every tool."
"There is a lot of complexity around licensing."
"It's a bit annoying that you have to use two environments in the older version."
"Documentation can be improved."
"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."
"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."
"If there were some industry templates it would have helped significantly, because it is similar to a process map for a domain. That is what we are currently creating, a domain-relevant process map."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
