Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 15, 2025

Camunda and BiZZdesign HoriZZon are key players in business process management and enterprise architecture. Camunda has the upper hand due to its active community and ease of building workflows.

Features: Camunda offers lightweight architecture, scalability, and BPMN compliance, making it highly adaptable with robust REST API and open-source accessibility. It allows for easy workflow creation with reusable components. BiZZdesign HoriZZon is strong in enterprise architecture management with flexibility in modeling standards like ArchiMate and strategic planning tools.

Room for Improvement: Camunda could improve its proprietary UI and form creation tools, provide clearer documentation, and enhance support for additional programming languages. BiZZdesign HoriZZon could benefit from better integration capabilities, improved usability of its REST APIs, and more competitive pricing, along with a more intuitive user interface and enhanced technical support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Camunda supports flexible deployment for both on-premises and cloud environments with open-source community engagement but faces challenges in technical support. In contrast, BiZZdesign HoriZZon is cloud-based and offers dedicated enterprise-level support, known for being responsive and efficient.

Pricing and ROI: Camunda is considered cost-effective, especially for startups using its open-source model, but substantial growth may lead to increased costs due to a per-process pricing model. Users find BiZZdesign HoriZZon expensive, although both products deliver positive ROI by effectively supporting complex processes and modeling.

Enterprise Architect at Tata Consultancy

Helps to get a clear overview of our enterprise architecture, especially when dealing with multiple departments

One area where BiZZdesign HoriZZon could use some improvement is in its REST APIs. While the platform offers REST APIs, they have limitations when it comes to retrieving and exporting data. Obtaining detailed information at the individual application or component level, including IDs, costs, and deployment-related data, can be challenging through these APIs. This limitation makes it difficult to smoothly export such granular data. I have raised this issue with the BiZZdesign team, and they expressed interest in addressing it, but I'm not aware of the current status of this improvement effort. Nonetheless, improving the usability and flexibility of the REST APIs for data extraction is an area that could enhance the platform's capabilities.

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

"The enterprise studio where the modelling happens is valuable."

"The most valuable features are the application, portfolio, data, architectures, and modeling things."

"One of the main advantages of this solution is that they have representation in the Open Group Forum, which means that any changes in ArchiMate are immediately implemented in BiZZdesign."

"t's a good tool. My colleagues that are making use of it for application, business processes, or data modeling, are very satisfied with it. They find it easy to use. The graphical representation is simple but therefore efficient, so I know that they are planning a very good commencement on the use of these tools."

"I like the flexibility of the modeling part for standards like ArchiMate and, at the same time, BPMN. It allows us to connect elements from different areas and to have a single repository and a single source of truth. It gives us one place to do analysis throughout the organization."

"It is very easy to use. I can just click on an application component and find out if we are using this particular component. This provides us flexibility."

"Among the valuable features is the ability to document standards. For example, we have mandatory operating standards that need to be followed by every application and every architecture. We use things like table charts and pie charts for documenting the costs incurred across the systems. All of these are good features."

"The most valuable features of BiZZdesign HoriZZon include the diagrammatic representation of BPMN models, which I find good for modeling, and things such as capability maps."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon pros

"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."

"It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming."

"We have the ability to modify the product if we need to, and that comes in handy whenever we need to add new functionality and features."

"We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill."

"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."

"The solution is good for data models."

"The headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."

"Ease of use and ability to streamline a process model."

More Camunda pros

Cons

"In HoriZZon, there are different matrices. In some of the cases, there is an option to aggregate them, but in other cases, we have not done this, e.g., to see the proper costs. For example, if I have 10 different matrices, then I need to create an aggregate view out of those 10 matrices somewhere. That is where we have been struggling a bit. We have a counterpart from the HoriZZon product team with whom we have bi-weekly discussions. We have suggested to him that this can be improved."

"It lacks capabilities with regard to infrastructure modeling."

"The users of BiZZdesign should be able to enter their data or make modeling changes via HoriZZon."

"The ability to generate charts and deal with a use case involving Kibana was quite difficult."

"It should be more open to integrating with other existing tools. Although there has been progress in the past."

"This tool is something of a beast - it takes a long time to learn, and it isn't possible for casual users and most architects. Unless a person spends 500 or 1,000 hours on the tool or does very concentrated sessions using all its functionalities, it's very difficult to master."

"Integration definitely needs improvement. There are some restrictions. We've seen that it doesn't integrate with everything we might expect."

"Scalability is a bit of a problem for BiZZdesign. There is always a possibility it will failover."

More BiZZdesign HoriZZon cons

"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."

"I would also like a very easy to use form builder."

"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."

"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."

"Initial setup can be quite complex."

"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."

"We have to wait to see if Bonita provided us with some features that Camunda does not or if we experience any stability issues."

"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."

More Camunda cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I haven't found any issues with the scalability and licensing parts that are access-related."

"The price is reasonable."

"[The] Orbus... pricing model was based on every single functionality having a price. The pricing was comparable but if we wanted to scale, it would have ended up being a lot more expensive. BiZZdesign gave us one price with all of the functionality, and we could scale as much as we needed."

"First and foremost within the scope of improvement for the solution would be the cost. It's very costly..."

"In terms of this particular product usage, my clients currently only use per-user licenses."

"We were customers and bought licenses from them. We used their remote instance initially but upgraded to the on-device version due to lag. For pricing, we paid about 2200 pounds a year per seat for the client installation at an educational rate. I'm not sure about commercial rates. I managed to get a free copy at BBC since it was for evaluation purposes."

"If one is very cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a seven out of ten."

"The pricing model is slightly on the high side and could be more competitive for long-term partnerships."

"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."

"The product's price depends on the number of processes that need to be automated or where the orchestration part needs to be used. The product is affordable for medium and large enterprises."

"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."

"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."

"Camunda is much cheaper."

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."

"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
