Featured Reviews

CristianoGomes - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years
I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.

Solution Consultant at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Provides documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities
If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Being able to use a Java-based solution makes the product flexible."
"With this product, we have the flexibility and speed to serve customers quickly and that is important."
"We have a lot of users, almost 1,800, and we needed something affordable, stable and something that could be used by a large financial company. This solution truly fit the bill."
"We are system integrators, and the value of Camunda for us is that it's easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."
"Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version, and for testing and learning purposes it is perfect."
"Based on other products, we've found the most appropriate results coming out from the Camunda BPM engine."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."
"It is one of the top-tier solutions that are available."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"We think iGrafx is well-priced, affordable; you don’t need a lot of license seats, and it has a good, free, downloadable iGrafx Viewer (akin to Adobe Reader)."
 

Cons

"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"The initial setup can be complex for business users."
"On the other hand, if I were rating it for use by the public then I would rate it a three out of ten."
"The solution's initial setup has a medium level of difficulty. Maybe someone who is starting out and doesn't have any experience with any other framework may get into some headaches."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"When you have a lot of processes running, it becomes very expensive very quickly."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking."
"In the future, I would like to see better transactional integrity."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"I used the single license product. The entire suite can manage complex organizations, linking it with ERP, but it is not so easy to link it to a new ERP."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"I would like to see a lower price, although when used correctly, you can have a good return on your investment."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"Camunda is a cheaply priced product, making it one of its major USPs."
"There is a bit of scope for improvement in how the licensing and pricing are done. They are based on the number of processing instances you execute on the cluster... but on the self-hosted mode, the pricing model should be customized."
"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."
"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
"I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive."
"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
