Featured Reviews

FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ahmed-Ragab - PeerSpot reviewer
Facilitates task management with effective approval processes and modern integration capabilities
It facilitates processes by sending notifications to relevant individuals who need to take action regarding requests. There is a very good approval hierarchy in place. Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests. It is also easy to integrate with many other tools, like Nintex and Azure DevOps, using APIs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The visibility – the diagrams you create – and then being able to automate based on them are valuable features. It's easy to explain and comprehend, and the integration aspects are valuable."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."
"The UI is very user-friendly compared to other products. The native, vanilla UI is very interesting and intuitive to use. It's user-friendly when it comes to modernizing a business process."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."
"Camunda is a scalable product."
"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."
"Camunda's process diagram creation and deployment is very easy."
"It has an open BPM"
"Ivanti Automation significantly simplifies IT infrastructure processes, handling access requests and facilitating various employee requests."
"There is a very good approval hierarchy in place."
"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Automation is the opportunity to use more or less any kind of scripting software."
"It's easy for the IT admins at the company to use. It isn't hard to understand and there are lots of features you can use out of the box. If a feature isn't available in Ivanti Automation, you can always script it."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution could use some enhancements like adding connectors, improving forms and having a mobile app, but everything is an enhancement rather than a flaw."
"The business model could be easier to understand."
"The solution's pricing and scalability could be improved."
"Lacking in forms visualization."
"It lacks some preset features and configurations which would make it more plug-and-play for customers."
"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."
"Would be helpful if there were additional out-of-the-box activities."
"Their cloud relay feature needs to improve to compete with other products in cloud solutions like Azure and AWS. It should be easier to deploy or provision images in the cloud with Ivanti Automation. Better Azure integration would also help."
"Ivanti Automation should deliver more fixed templates for standard use cases or standard procedures."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."
"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."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."
"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."
"We use a community version."
"The price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
