Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
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

"The product's most valuable features are its real-time messaging and collaboration tools."
"The graphical interface is very beneficial."
"My advice is try to understand and use it because it's really an amazing solution."
"The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."
"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improvements in its user interface, especially in simplifying navigation across different features."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"The development team had a lot of issues at the start. Guaranteeing the execution times that it will work to is difficult."
"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."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is generally competitive."
"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."
"We use the free version."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"I use the open-source free version."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"It is good for a startup. When we started, its price was fair, but the way we are using it to orchestrate microservices makes it expensive. When you are growing as a company, you would have more microservices, and you would have more users. There is an exponential effect when you are growing in terms of the number of conditions, processes, and users because they bill you per process. So, the price was increasing very quickly for us, and it was very difficult."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
