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.

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

"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"
"I'm in awe of what the software can do."
"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."
"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."
"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."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"It is simple to use. The user experience is very good."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"The documentation and all that they have done is just splendid."
"The best features of Camunda are the design time and run time aspects, as you can visualize the whole process and then integrate your network SMEs or allow business design and developers to collaborate on the workflow."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"There are just some things in the new product that are not really functional issues but improvements that BIC will have to make."
"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."
"One thing they could improve is the manual."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"I'd like to see a number of preset features and configurations included in the solution to make it more of a plug-and-play kind of product."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself."
"It is hard to say if this solution is scalable. We've contacted their support team on this, and sometimes it takes very long to get an answer from them."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation. More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup."
"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."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."
"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."
"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
