Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It has been a stable solution so far since it meets our needs, including data modeling, which we need to do before we embark on analyzing and optimizing the business processes.""The architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based.""Camunda is a scalable product.""The graphical interface is very beneficial.""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.""It is simple to use. The user experience is very good.""The integration with almost any language, product, and even human tasks, is valuable. It's very seamless to integrate into existing systems. It doesn't require you to rewrite a lot of your existing system. That's where it really stands out."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the workflow creation.""User-friendly and easy to deploy.""The product's initial setup phase was easy.""vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library.""The storage motion is a good feature. It is a very good tool.""The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN.""I am impressed with the tool's easiness to work with VMware solutions.""The backup and recovery times are very quick."

Cons
"The product does not have a dictionary.""If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet.""When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access.""We have faced problems with the performance.""The GUI needs to be improved, with more configuration options.""I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack.""If Camunda could develop something that creates user forms that would be a great feature to have. They also need to improve the UI.""Initial setup can be quite complex."

More Camunda Cons →

"In the next release, to make it easier to write the workflows, I would l like to see more HTML GUIs.""vCenter Orchestrator's debugging capacity could be improved.""There are no good manuals or guidelines on integrations. Hence, you need to be asking someone.""It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors.""I did not do the initial setup. However, it was complex at the beginning.""Using this solution requires a lot of experience.""It is practically difficult at this stage to really comment on the improvisations of V central. But more tech events and PoC cases would help the EA to design better solutions and utilization.""The scalability option provided by the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
