Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read.""Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate.""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.""The flexibility characteristic in a BPMS, through BPMN and DMN, is undoubtedly the most interesting feature for our business.""The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part.""We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use""The most valuable features are the management of internal processes, the ability to execute from design and the model for internal processes, the ability to make processes visible, and the ability to have information about the current state of each instance.""We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."

"I like the structure. I can see the diagrams and everything I created.""Stable design software with multiple functions and features. It's simple to install and easy to use.""I find it very user-friendly for my purposes, which is creating business process models that I can publish as HTML pages. It has worked flawlessly for my project, and my clients are able to utilize it as an internal web portal for their process documentation and other needs.""It is easy-to-use and it helps understand its data modeling structure through the intuitive user interface.""It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward.""The Visual Paradigm business process forms for designing we good. There was not a lot of configuration for the process diagram.""I like the fact that this solution is complete.""I love Visual Paradigm because it has many different types of diagrams. For any field of engineering, we can find a diagram."

Cons
"I would like to see better pricing.""We have faced problems with the performance.""Like all BPM tools, they're very bad with proprietary UIs. In general, anyone who uses BPM tools should not expect to use their proprietary UI.""The support definitely can be improved. Apart from that, the language should be extendable to other platforms. If I want to write, I'll run a different platform, like Python code on top of it, or COBOL code on top of it, and it should support those languages.""The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance.""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.""It has a Postgres database at the backend, and it is very difficult to scale if you increase the number of processes running. We did hit some barriers. We were able to overcome them, but it was a problem. Camunda has another product called Camunda Cloud, which supposedly doesn't have the same scalability problems, but we are not using Camunda Cloud because the set of features is smaller than Camunda On-Premises. So, its scalability can be improved. Because it has a single database, it is more difficult to scale if you have a huge success.""The latency of API could be decreased."

More Camunda Cons →

"The solution could be more compatible with other products in the future.""The solution can improve by updating the user interface, and graphics.""Visual Paradigm is much better now. But each project has its own challenges, which is why I'm exploring different tools for my new projects. For instance, designing reports can be tough, especially with the costly intervention of professional services from vendors.""Visual Paradigm's initial deployment was difficult since we did it for the first time. It is challenging to learn to use the product.""Takes up a lot of resources.""The solution's technical support can be improved and accessible for our company location since Visual Paradigm follows a remote support model with some challenges.""Visual Paradigm can improve by having better process mining tools and model integration.""The product's versioning capability needs improvement."
