We performed a comparison between Camunda and Visio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Process Design solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"The best feature is the automation."
", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."
"The most valuable feature of Camunda Platform is its Microservices architecture, which is easily integrable with APIs."
"For an internal project, this is a solution that you can install and have up and running quite quickly."
"Architecture modeling software with satisfactory standard features. It's also stable and effective in facilitating communication with others."
"The diagramming and swimlane features allow for separating business functions."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"We can easily add templates to SharePoint for collaboration."
"The diagrams Visio creates are quite impressive in the sense that we can cooperate with more colleagues in one task and see the flow of the process."
"We are all familiar with it, and it is easy to use. There is a lot of flexibility, and you can add shapes if you want."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The user interface needs improvement. It should be more tailored to the end-user and offer a better user experience design over the user interface itself."
"I would like to have a feature for audit logging, audit logs and audit log management. And some history of use for the audit logs."
"In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese."
"In the future, I would definitely like to see the process administration (migration, audit, tracking) and process evaluation (optimize) features added to the community edition."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"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."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
"Indeed, Visio should progress beyond its current stage of solely drawing diagrams and transition into a more advanced phase, possibly integrating with different packages or aligning with Microsoft's offerings. It could potentially evolve into a comprehensive business process management solution, comparable to tools like Addis or Signavio, thereby competing in the realm of process management tools. It might be advantageous to explore functionalities such as process simulations or benchmarking, introducing simulators to discern potential bottlenecks or errors within complex flow diagrams. This addition would prove valuable for business analysts seeking insights into the intricacies of their diagrams, aligning with the evolving trends observed over the past six years."
"From my perspective, Visio could probably add more help guidelines for users, and I would prefer to see more intuitive user interfaces to help with dragging and dropping, using the right components, etc."
"It can be complex. If you don't know a little bit about it, it can get really confusing."
"The Auto-Align has improved significantly from the previous release; however, it still jumbles the model if your process diagram has a fair degree of complexity."
"There is a limitation in Visio."
"It requires a lot of skill to get into it."
"There could be better integration between Visio and Word, especially when it comes to importing graphics from the one to the other."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
