Provides good stability, but they should add a feature for enterprise architecture
We use BIC Platform for process design and workflow features The product is easy to use, and it has different roles. It is an online platform, so many users can simultaneously use it according to their assigned roles. The product’s most valuable feature is roles. So, we can assign different…

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

"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."
"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."
"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."
"The product is easy to use."
"Camunda Platform has a very good interface for workflow and business process design."
"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."
"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."
"Camunda serves as an automation library and provides lightweight deployment to the cloud."
"The use of Java is a big plus for our intern developers, and Camunda scales well, as many of our departments are already using it in production with dedicated teams."
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
 

Cons

"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."
"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"They could provide more documentation regarding the integration of different programming languages."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"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."
"We have to wait to see if Bonita provided us with some features that Camunda does not or if we experience any stability issues."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"Customization and tech stack could be up-to-date."
"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"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."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive."
