Platform for documenting and modifying our processes
The tool was used for digital transformation. Our company operates in the automotive industry and needs a transition to digitalization. We utilize the BIC Platform for documenting and modifying our processes, as well as incorporating various elements such as KPIs. It serves as a fundamental tool for numerous aspects of our operations.

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

"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."
"I'm in awe of what the software can do."
"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."
"Company wide BPMS tool sustaining a long term quality management best practices to achieve the expected process maturity level but also cutting operation and maintenance costs related to the former tool in use"
"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."
"The product is easy to use."
"The documentation and all that they have done is just splendid."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the ability to streamline a process model on a BPM diagram."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"We have seen that investing in a tool like Camunda is valuable, especially because it's an open-source product."
"There's this graphic that tells you how many lines or how many tickets are in each step. In that way, you know where you stand. I find this feature very valuable."
"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"
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
 

Cons

"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."
"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"There are just some things in the new product that are not really functional issues but improvements that BIC will have to make."
"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"One thing they could improve is the manual."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"Stability-wise, Camunda is good, but sometimes task queries get very slow when we have a large number of tasks."
"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."
"Camunda needs to improve its user interface for low-code development and provide more user interface options beyond the basic workflow."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"We have faced problems with the performance."
"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."
"The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages."
 

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."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"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 open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"When compared with the proprietary products, the pricing costs are much less, even though it is an enterprise edition."
