We performed a comparison between Camunda and iServer 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."Overall, the solution has been very solid."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"The BPMN diagram is valuable. For our use case of transferring money from one account to another, the connections have to be done in the traditional financial ways. There are a lot of unexpected errors and a lot of instability with this kind of system, and we are using Camunda in order to have clear flows. With BPMN, I can show a flow to my business partner, and the business team can easily understand what's going on. The technical team can understand what the implementation is, and we can model different errors and the process for recovering from these errors."
"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."
"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure. It is more elaborate."
"One reason we selected Camunda or Cloud/DB is that it comes with the support of the BPMN notation, which helps to define processes in a standard manner. Another reason was that Camunda Cloud, as the name says, is designed for a new cloud era."
"Easy to use and easy to integrate into the products and applications we provide for our customers."
"It has helped having data lineage in the business cluster, which is used as control artifacts."
"Good and effective reporting features, which help in decision making."
"The product has a valuable customized model."
"This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions."
"We like the governance."
"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."
"Integrating the Microsoft documents to the product and visualization matrix where we can see the end-to-end relationship of the network is of great importance to our company."
"We're trying to put the people from the business to do it. We are using APIs, and we have open APIs to define our APIs and the request-response that each call requires and sends. So, to base the mapping on that, there was nothing to help. I know that with some tools, such as Oracle tools, you can see the input and expected output. With drag and drop, you can take one property from the left and drag it to the right, and it does all the mapping itself, but that's not the case with Camunda. So, for me, this is something that can be improved."
"I don't like the UI of the Camunda Platform, I have found the Signavio solution to be much better for me to create the process designs and execute them. Additionally, I have found the tools in the Camunda Platform are not compatible with some of my other tools. They should improve this in the future."
"Documentation can be improved."
"I think that Camunda can try to do better when it comes to solving the complexities of all the products in its software stack."
"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 product does not have a dictionary."
"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."
"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."
"I haven't used this solution long enough to know what areas could be improved."
"There can be some performance issues using the solution that should be improved. When you make modifications modify to files there are embedded data within that can take a while to process."
"More visualization techniques and ways to report the data might be helpful."
"The migration tool needs to be included in the main package, and not as a separate license."
"The one issue is that if you want to import predefined work, you need to put the licensing model in. So if you wanted to import work that was done before, you then need to buy a separate product for that."
"It runs relatively slowly."
"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
