OpenText Operations Orchestration's stability has improved, achieving over 90% success despite minor customization and event remediation challenges.
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
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.
 

Room For Improvement

Camunda needs better customization, programming language integration, scalability, and AWS support, with enhanced documentation and performance improvements.
OpenText Operations Orchestration needs better integration, scalability, a modern interface, cloud options, open-source support, and pre-built workflows.
Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version.
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.
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
 

Setup Cost

Camunda's pricing is competitive, but costly for small businesses; enterprise edition offers advanced features and support options.
OpenText Operations Orchestration is seen as costly but offers significant value through cost and time-saving automation capabilities.
For some services, such as hosting databases, Google is really expensive.
There is a licensing cost for using the SaaS model and Enterprise edition of Camunda.
 

Valuable Features

Camunda is valued for its flexibility, open-source customization, user-friendly interface, and effective management of complex processes.
OpenText Operations Orchestration streamlines automation with easy integration, centralized management, and flexible features, reducing deployment time significantly.
ECS also allows for horizontal scalability with thresholds that can be configured for CPU or memory.
Camunda's support for BPMN 2.0 is a great advantage because it allows us to have a common language to discuss technology and business in the same perspective.
The biggest difference between Camunda and Bonita might be that Camunda is simpler and more flexible for setting.

Featured Reviews

CristianoGomes - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
Increases productivity with automation and robust orchestration capabilities
The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available. There are ready-made workflows, integration with other products, a nice user interface, and reporting. The tool is flexible, agent-based or agentless. It allows significant automation and has robust orchestration and reporting capabilities. It is easy to configure and use, leading to increased efficiency across our IT processes.
