Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is an absolutely stable solution.""The interface and the number of connectors that they provide are the most valuable features. The support here, it's kind of okay. But the main thing is with the number of connectors and the UI, the user interface.""We can easily define and deploy business processes. Camunda provides the tools that allow business people to design business processes. We don't have to have developers for it. It is so easy to use that our business people can go into the tool and model their business processes. We get time to do other things than just designing business processes.""It is quite easy to build a simple process without any knowledge of programming.""It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases.""The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now.""The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need.""We can share, discuss, and develop the model together — from a distance. It's really helped us during these times of isolation."

"A valuable feature includes seamless integration with the document management system, along with robust capabilities in analytics and reporting.""The most valuable features are those involving decision making, analysis, and anything related to event documents because those processes are related to content as well.""It provides us the capability of producing b​​usiness processes for documents that are launched immediately when a document comes into the repository.""The solution is scalable.""Case Foundation provides a strong security boost.""The most valuable feature is the content manager part of the file as it is very stable, robust, and reliable.""The most valuable feature is its stability, which is why we are using it.""It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."

Cons
"The product does not have a dictionary.""When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access.""In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity.""If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI.""I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist.""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.""Would be helpful if there were additional out-of-the-box activities.""The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance."

More Camunda Cons →

"The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility.""The solution can be quite expensive.""​The place of improvement is merging or combining all of the workflow functionality into one seamless tool. Now, there are multiple installations that are different. Case Foundation, before you can put Case Manager and you've got IBM BPM, and the roadmap is there to merge them altogether. But that's the struggle at the moment, it's having multiple installations and disparate workflow applications.​""There is a need for more open and flexible integration capabilities, allowing seamless collaboration with a broader spectrum of business process management solutions, beyond the confines of IBM's document management offerings.""IBM needs to update the user interfaces of all its products to make them more intuitive and accessible to beginners. Compared to Microsoft products, IBM solutions are less user-friendly. IBM programs are hard to master. It's a problem in my region because it's hard to find IT staff who can work with IBM.""Comparing the solution with other interfaces, IBM BPM is much better than Case Foundation. They need to make this solution's interface more user-friendly.""We are now using microservices but there are some areas where the coordination with FileNet is problematic.""The cloud version could use more stability."
