Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."
"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."
"Camunda serves as an automation library and provides lightweight deployment to the cloud."
"It is open-source. It supports microservice orchestration. This is what we are really interested in. We can customize our products depending on the use cases."
"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 architecture is good because it's a headless workflow. I can create my own frontend, and it's fully API-based."
"The number of client implementations and cross-language capabilities to support multiple frameworks is very pluggable compared to Pega. It's also more portable."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution has wide use within Microsoft products. The integration with Microsoft products, and, in particular, Microsoft Office, is great."
"This is a flexible tool compared to some other solutions."
"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."
"iServer is a solution that helps catalog enterprise architect solutions and catalog information."
"Tech support is very responsive. They solved issues within a prompt response time."
"I have to think less with this solution. It's simple."
"iServer is a very flexible platform for defining your own enterprise architecture model."
 

Cons

"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."
"The deployment model could be improved for easier implementation."
"The support offered by the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When addressing a complex and extensive process, the domain it belongs to, be it banking, healthcare, or HR, requires widespread access."
"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."
"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."
"The primary issue regarding the Camuto platform is its high cost of training. This is why I haven't discussed it extensively, as compared to other products that are more affordable in terms of developer training."
"I have faced problems in bringing up the Cockpit in terms of GUI processes. I think that there is room for improvement in those areas."
"The modelling needs improvement, specifically forecasting capabilities and scenarios."
"Requirements management needs to be improved."
"We could allocate permissions to use only specific components to the users rather than the entire instance."
"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."
"iServer should invest in enhancing the capabilities of the embedded drawing tool, draw.io."
"The performance is slow, which is something that should be improved."
"The product is more expensive than Spark."
"It runs relatively slowly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The open-source version of the product is free to use."
"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."
"We use a community version."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"The product is expensive for a small or medium-sized company."
"It's about 13K to set up and 9K for the license for three months. I think it's about 20K a year, but we haven't firmed up on pricing yet because the price depends on how long we commit to the solution."
"The product has a moderate pricing."
"The price of iServer is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"Aim for the exact number of people who shall define/review approve and view the processes, as it will impact the cost."
"They offer annual subscriptions for developing countries, which are not affordable for small or medium businesses."
