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.

Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees

A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation

I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products."

"The integration with almost any language, product, and even human tasks, is valuable. It's very seamless to integrate into existing systems. It doesn't require you to rewrite a lot of your existing system. That's where it really stands out."

"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 headless nature of the Camunda Platform is something that has helped us to build our own logic and platforms on it."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."

"The solution is good for data models."

"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."

"I think that the positives of Camunda Platform are that our customers can start with the free version. I think it is the most important."

More Camunda pros

"Not just the solution's automation capabilities, but we like everything about it since we are more of a system integrator."

Cons

"The latency of API could be decreased."

"I'm from the .NET world and I would like to use it, rather than Java."

"It would be helpful to have more readily available use cases on the internet. Camunda's documentation feels less comprehensive."

"The cockpit features of the Camunda Platform can be improved to make it a bit more user-friendly, in terms of providing a bit more user experience for non-technical users. There could be some additional documentation added."

"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 user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."

"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."

"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."

More Camunda cons

"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."

"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is good for a startup. When we started, its price was fair, but the way we are using it to orchestrate microservices makes it expensive. When you are growing as a company, you would have more microservices, and you would have more users. There is an exponential effect when you are growing in terms of the number of conditions, processes, and users because they bill you per process. So, the price was increasing very quickly for us, and it was very difficult."

"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."

"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."

"The license is quite expensive, which is why we went with the community version."

"Cheaper licensing and resources than competitors"

"Licensing costs are anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 USD per year."

"We use the open-source version, which can be used at no cost."

"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."

More Camunda pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
