Added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience
We design end-to-end automation solutions for repetitive tasks performed by IT support teams This tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests.  Built-in operators available for most integrations. Easy to manage. Attended/unattended…
FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
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 tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests."
"It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."
"We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."
"The most valuable features are the workflow, the task list, and the modeler where we use VPN."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
 

Cons

"OCR capability should be added as a feature."
"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."
"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."
"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"The latency of API could be decreased."
"The migration strategy needs to be improved."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."
"It would be better if the tool were made less reliant on Java."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"Generally, the price could be better, as well as the licensing fees."
"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."
"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."
"We use a community version."
