Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.8
Camunda delivers cost savings, efficiency, and satisfaction through improved workflows and integration, despite some long-term investment challenges.
Sentiment score
6.0
Automation enhances efficiency, cuts labor costs by 50%, boosts ROI, and saves time on reporting, content, and CRM tasks.
I have seen a return on investment where we have fewer resources in development because of Camunda.
Manager at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Regulatory changes or implementation needs should not take years to resolve, as the value is not just the license cost per number of cases run in the workflow, but how you achieve service enhancement for your company.
Product Owner/Manager at RS2i
Camunda should manage that very well because their whole suite enables that, especially to look at every instance of the process and see where that is within the process, what stage it is at, and which actions are still pending.
Freelance Consultant at a media company with self employed
I have indeed seen a return on investment as it has saved us hundreds of hours in repetitive tasks, streamlining our follow-up to the leads that we are generating.
Network Engineer at AT&T
I implemented a booking system for my client that previously required data to be entered directly into Google Sheets and reminders to be sent manually; using Make, they have saved about 50% of their time, which equals one labor resource, translating to a significant amount of money saved.
Founder at WebEase
With that extra time each month, I could focus more on sales and upscaling my business, so it is really worth it.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Camunda's customer service is generally responsive and knowledgeable, with mixed experiences in support speed and communication clarity.

5.5
Make's responsive customer support and abundant self-help resources efficiently resolve user issues, fostering an active, supportive community.
AWS provides the best support, followed by Microsoft, and then Google.

They really understand deeply and in detailed fashion the solution.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.7
Camunda is praised for its scalability, adaptability, and efficient deployment, despite challenges with database dependencies and setup complexity.
Sentiment score
5.5
Make is scalable and effective for complex workflows, but pricing and workflow setup can challenge some users.
Camunda offers a high level of scalability, especially when using its SaaS model, which manages and scales implementations automatically.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
ECS and Fargate make horizontal scalability very easy.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
They have that REST layer, REST APIs layer that makes it easy to integrate and make it part of a microservices ecosystem and APIs.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
When you have an error, it is very hard to do error handling and debugging.
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
It can handle increasing workloads or more complex automations easily, but I need to set up each and every component carefully.
Developer at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
Make's scalability is very good, and if the pricing were lower, I could scale a lot more.
Founder at WebEase
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Camunda is stable and reliable, with high user ratings and occasional adjustments needed for optimal performance during integration.
Sentiment score
7.3
Make is mostly stable and reliable for users, with occasional minor bugs and issues that don't hinder overall performance.
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
We were not really concerned about the performance on the process itself because it was super simple, super straightforward, and it did not present itself as a bottleneck, nor did we feel it was adding additional time in the execution.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
For stability, most use cases depend on the workflow engine with Cockpit, which is stable about 98% of the time.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
 

Room For Improvement

Camunda needs UI, integration, scalability improvements, better support, and enhanced customization, deployment flexibility, and user experience features.
Users seek enhanced developer-friendliness, integrations, documentation, pricing, ease of use, security, stability, support tools, and customization.
For our implementation, the only issue we have encountered is that when it comes to scaling with external tasks, it struggles on Camunda 7.
Principal Solutions Architect at BT - British Telecom
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
Technical and Solution Architect at Freelance
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.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
There should be clarity about whether the data is secure while passing through these automations or integrations created within Make.
Chief Executive Officer at Ashtex Solutions
I would love to have more detailed logs, step-by-step error tracing, and better visualization of failed executions, as I think it would improve the user experience significantly.
software engineer at a non-tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The lagging problem needs to be solved.

Setup Cost

Camunda provides open-source and enterprise versions; the latter is costly but offers more features and support options.
Make's pricing is affordable and flexible, with options like Docker solutions, making it cost-effective compared to competitors.
AWS pricing is very competitive compared to Azure and cheap compared to Google.
Chief Technology Officer at Looplex SA
I do not know if it is just not possible to run the whole environment at a rate that would be affordable.
Freelance Consultant at a media company with self employed
While it might be too expensive for smaller business use cases, if we can automate and have high-value cases, then Camunda's pricing makes sense.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
Licensing was affordable.
Network Engineer at AT&T
I found a solution that allows me to use Make almost for free, just using the Docker on-premises.
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
It's cost-effective and it's pocket-friendly.

Valuable Features

Camunda offers flexibility, ease of use, and integration with BPMN 2.0, supporting seamless microservices and business process management.
Make's intuitive interface and integrations boost efficiency and productivity, saving time and reducing manual tasks with seamless automation.
The customer support is outstanding.
Freelance Consultant at a media company with self employed
The coexistence that Camunda allows is important because we are connected, using it as an orchestrator for domain controllers and various automation platforms, both legacy and new, ensuring we are independent and can operate across domains.
Transformation Manager at Vodafone
Another feature I value is the intuitiveness of BPMN that allows you to create your UI without needing a developer, which is very helpful.
Manager at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Make has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to solve use cases for hundreds of clients across hundreds of different platforms, providing the customization capabilities to automate accounting and invoicing processes that save dozens of man-hours a month, and allowing us to build custom churn, retention, and engagement costs that have driven a 30% reduction in churn.
Network Engineer at AT&T
Instead of spending several days implementing and testing API integrations inside our FastAPI back end, I was able to build the workflows in a few hours using Make.
software engineer at a non-tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The task that I would complete in a span of one day is completed in a matter of minutes by using Make.

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.

Automation workflows have saved time and have reduced manual work for my client projects
Most of what I learned about Make is mainly from the templates only. Anything that I tried to do, I try to see who has done it already and try to understand and rebuild it. When I'm trying to build some workflows, there's a chatbot component. When I ask for something, it helps me in that. Or if I get a bug that I'm finding difficult to debug or understand the use case or the log, it clearly explains it to me and sometimes it advises me to do certain things, so that it's easy for me to fix it. One area for improvement is an auto-building feature. Another is how n8n has a chatbot completion where you can bring some LLMs into the workflow and integrating Ollama and all of that is something I felt is really needed for Make also.
