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 scheduling.""I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important.""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.""Camunda's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with different products.""The solution is good for data models.""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 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."

More Flowable Pros →

Cons
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved.""The product must provide more videos and training materials.""The Camunda Modeler installation poses a challenge, requiring local installation, which doesn't help collaboration like other online tools, for instance.""I would like to see better pricing.""The product's initial setup phase is difficult for beginners.""Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement.""The initial set up could be simplified, it's complex.""It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."

More Camunda Cons →

"In my opinion, areas of improvement for Flowable include the management and creation of forms within the open-source components and the documentation and examples provided. While the cloud-based Flowable implementation with no-code features is attractive, we prefer more control over integration, especially since we deploy our product onto AWS. We also want to avoid additional licensing fees for Flowable runtime user components on top of our software development and implementation charges."

  • "Since the tool is open-source, we don't have to pay anything for it. It's free to download and use, which is great for us. If Flowable hadn't been available as open source and required a license fee for us to integrate it into our product, we might not have chosen it."
